That`s actually a pretty high starting bid for what they are, no wonder nobody bid.

  a question of the testing figures on this tube. 10ma/18ma emissions I think? Anything to be concerned about man? Thinking about bidding on the D-getter Siemens CCa.

That dgetter looks very tasty...

Ive always been a fan of matching (or closely matching) codes. Amd measurements from a reliable seller are always preferred to if the tube pricing is ok

Those tubes are from the same batch as my pair, same seller. The quad tests a bit better, but is that worth the huge price difference.
$265, I haggled the price down. Bought this pair April 26th of this year.

My impression on the Amperex Orange Globes 1969. Good tubes. Compared to the stock canadians, there is less bass but more refined sound. With many recordings now I have the impression that the music is playing behind me. The upper soundstage has extended, the back has extended but the front is closer. Instruments position is more stable and easier to point. Overall I think it is better than the stock tubes and also way better than the thin sounding RCA E188CC gold pins from mid 70's Holland in red box (that I have returned for refund).
 
I understand the sound can still be improved but the OG are good IMO. I am satisfied and am waiting for the reflektor 1975 HG next.

Well it's hard to say the tester that guy is using is superb so there's no doubts on the results. 10/18 mA would mean there's either a big mismatch on Mu (voltage gain) or on Gm (transconductance). But this guy is using roe test so he should be able to provide the entire curve trace for the tube + Gm/Mu/Rp/Ia measurements. So if we had that we could tell if it's well matched or too imbalanced.
 
Another thing to note is that the Lyr2 is somehow magical as it autobalances tubes so they run around 6mA while running 100V plate voltage per tube, which depending on the tube curve may happen that at this particular point the tube is balanced. I'm still not sure if the Lyr autobalances each triode to achieve this current or somehow averages the tube. I've tried to plug in a lot of mismatched tubes and hear a difference - it's really difficult in the Lyr2.
That said I personally wouldn't bid on this.
 
In an unrelated story http://www.ebay.com/itm/401211632597 lorenz tripple mica pcc88 went last night for 60$. I didn't bid because no test results and the chances of finding another one are slim to none.

Hi all

if anyone is interested in two of these quad matching tele e188cc tubes i can get them to you for $400 for a pair (as opposed to my earlier offer)

Again PM If interested

Again i blame you for this billerb1
Thanks

I would urge you to be patient and wait for a better deal as it is bound to come (I got my 1966 E188CC Telefunkens for 200$ auction). Plus wait till you get the HGs I sent you to check 'em out But then again I know what I would do.
 
Unfortunately I've already spent some cash this month on tubes so I will try not to spend anymore (unless it's on PWs), otherwise I would be a perfect partner in crime because that seller is Bulgarian - and so am I, and he can send the tubes to me next day delivery. Sorry 'bout that.

Do yiu have a secret handshake that can get the quads down to $600??

Looking forward to the HG's. Havent arrived yet.

There diesnt seem to be a lot of these tele e188cc's around that are nicely matched from strong sellers

If i need to wait im happy to wait. But i i am getting itchy. I'll see how it goes
