I messaged the seller about these "Heerlen E88CC" tubes and this is the convo.

Your previous message

These tubes are not E88CC, just a heads up.

Response.
I bought these tubes from a very reputable dealer from whom I have been buying tubes for decades. I wouldn't be selling them, if they were not. What makes you say they are not?

Thank you for your note.


Me. Sent a pic of 6FQ7
I think it may be a 6FQ7/6CG7.

The tube does look like 6AQ8, but they are authentic Philips E88CC SQ. By the way, the photo in your note are not Philips E88CC SQ.

LOL. What a genius. Keep us posted. Hell, I think I'll send him a message about them. Maybe he'll get the hint, though my breath is not held.

I`m done, only way he is going to listen is if others message him, hope nobody gets burned buying them.
I got the same reply, basically. Most of his stuff seems really expensive, but this isn't too bad:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Siemens-E28...-Pin-E88CC-7308-E188CC-Cca-6DJ8-/282489121921

if anyone's looking for E288CCs. The listing is a little vague, but if you read down, it's for a pair. Tough to come by.

OTOH, he has a 97.8% rep on 178 sales, so caveat emptor, I reckon.

Anyone know if I got a good deal on these? Seems like there are a few different types of 6DJ8 Bugle Boys out there... I'm a bit of a noob and this was an impulse buy, lol.

You did fine. Nice set of starter tubes...

:)

Damn, Can't get those Siemens CCA, just got the E188CC version of the Siemens and the RTC Mazda E188CC tube. That's the equivalent of 240 I spent right there on 4 tubes.
With shipping I spent that on my least favorite pair of Siemens (CCas) back when I was tube noob, so you got a good collective deal... as long as you like the sound.
