The 6DJ8 was not even developed til 1958 so I doubt it is a 56.  I would question the sellers date...

  Got a pair of 74 Reflektors from that seller, sounds good in my Lyr 2 but 1 tube is very noisy in my DAC. In fact I sold that pair to a member here and it turned out noisy in his Mjolnir 2. Refunded his purchase price plus return shipping. Got a 75 Reflektor from a Russian seller. Same thing sounds good in the Lyr 2, 1 tube very noisy in my Lite Dac 68. I probably could of sold them to somebody with a Lyr 2, but pulled them both from my sale thread. I might throw 1 or both in in a trade or something as a bonus. Hope your experience is better than mine.

 
Tubes arrived. They look like they have been used to run the Cold War from '75 to the end, alone. Opinions welcome.

I have not seen ecc88(6dj8) prior to 1958 but Ive senlen plenty e88cc (6922) and pcc88 (7dj8) so perhaps Telefunken could've made some batches

Well, we do know that 1957 ECC88s were made, here is a Holland 57 PW with a "delta 7K" etch:

Confusion on the "U ne 00" apparently exists in the available Telefunken factory/date code lists with "ne" originally listed as "3/56" and later changed to "3/58":

Ok yeah 1957 ecc88 I've also seen, slipped my mind.
 
  hey everyone
I wonder the difference between the orange globes from 1969 and previous years. I know the 1969 has dimple getter but is the sound that much different from previous model and is it consensual that the 1968 and older models are superior or they are about the same? I bought a pair of 1969 with dimple getter just wondering if getting both is worth it. Thanks for any info.
 
By the way I have fully tested the RCA labeled 7308 Holland from year 1974 gold pins with halo getter in a red box. I prefer them from the stock canadian tubes. The RCA is tonaly more pleasant but with some kick in upper mid range that makes it interesting but perhaps a little too thin sounding. Can be a bit harsh for trumpet, but for some rythm guitar like AC/DC or Incubus and alike, it more fun than the stock tubes. Not saying they are worth the $200 I paid I have yet to hear more tubes to decide that. I use Bifrost MB, Lyr 2 and LCD 2.2 with fazor.

 
I have the 1969 orange globes (my first tube pair) and at least from my perspective the earlier type also earlier in the years you can get it just blows it away. Perhaps if it's 1968 and 1969 the difference will not be huge, hard to tell.

Any noise or microphonics? Do you have anything other than a Lyr to test for noise or microphonics? I suggest doing that if you plan to ever sell them. I wound up with a pair of unsellable 74`s from the same seller, My 75 was bought from JetParts. Don`t think the Eastern European sellers test for noise IMO.

Anyone know a reliable source for 75 reflector swgp. Looking for perfect set. I see a pair on ebay but 200 seems expensive no?

Was kinda hoping for a guinea pig on the Siemens CCa. Provided they have a pair of E88CC greys. The tubes go quite cheap, including those Valvo CCa Heerlen quads.
