Hey, I got a recommendation to look for some Valvo or Heerlen E188CC's.  What is the difference between the E188CC tube and these? http://www.head-fi.org/t/821126/final-pricedrop-fs-valvo-philips-amperex-e88cc-6922-red-print-d-getter-1959-heerlen-holland-factory-matched-pairs

​The Harleen 6922 D-getters are a steal! I wonder why the Quad Siemens CCa  silver shield isn't drawing attention. Because no test numbers provided?

Looks like a new listing, saw a quad sold yesterday from the same seller I linked earlier. I`m not touching that, they are not greys.

Sorry, i didnt see these posts. Yeah, it is Yura. Im going to bring them to my local hi-fi ahop to get them tested. He has 100% feedback which blows my mind considering anyone whos done business with him on this thread has had a negative experience

Atleast we have Ebay Buyer Protection and he seems to keep a good rep by making things right. He waits 3 days after payment to ship. You guys think i should send him a message asking him to double check my order or something? Idk

I'm sorry for the off track guys. I'm looking for a nice set of NOS matched tubes for a mjo2. You guys know your stuff and have helped me in the past. Please pm me if you have a set to let go off. 
 
kindly,
 
Matt

Hey, Matt!

Are you looking for anything in particular? Right now i have an extra pair of Telefunken ECC88's I wouldn't mind letting go of.

Hey, would the Volkshods need 50 or 100 hours of burn in?  I heard the foreign tubes need longer.

Don't know about "foreign" tubes, but there seems to be a general consensus that Russian/Soviet tubes like more burn-in than others, including some of those "foreign" tubes from Heerlen 

  I've read 200 hours for Russian/Soviet tubes.  YMMV, but definitely give them time, and try to listen for changes.  Ears and brain may get in the way of identifying subtle changes, but if it's obvious, then.... there ya go.

 

[ColtMrFire]

About 48 hours in now. Changes have been very subtle but noticeable.

Here is my matched pair NOS CCa collection:




I also have 3 matched pairs of NOS '75 Reflektor 6N23P SWGP Silver Shields (HG) tubes.

I think 7 pairs of fantastic tubes will have me in good shape for the foreseeable future!!

Your tube set cost nearly 4-5 times more than your actual amp.
Tube rolling is getting out of hand lol. I should know, I have a small collection myself & I only use two tubes.

Only three times....I shopped well!
 
The good news is that down the road, if I ever need to sell the tubes, I should be able to sell them for more than I paid for them. Its not like I bought 37 pair of tubes no one has ever heard of!

I must not have shopped as well.  I am at about 4.5 Lyr's at this point.
 
And you are right that the good news is they are not making these anymore.  The prices will probably only go up...
