They appear legit. They have the fat O getter and the rest of the tube looks right. I have not seen that fresh a paint job though.....

They are Telefunken tubes, had 2 pair of the fat getter ECC88`s. Wondering if they are legit CCa or reprinted E88CC. Did your pair of Tele CCa with the fat o-getters have a U code on it?

Siemens CCa grey shield pair auction with a third low testing tube...

Question for you guys regarding the Mullard E88CC/01 sound vs a regular E88CC. Any real difference in SQ?

Yes, it had a date code that started with "U" which means it was made at the Ulm, Germany plant. Looking at the photos I have, there is no second plate on top of the top Mica plate. My Telefunken ECC88 had such a plate. The font is not what I had on my Telefunken CCa tubes. The font on mine was thinner and taller.

The price is way too high anyway. So combine the strangeness with the price and it is an easy "not worth it" for me!

Can't tell you but because they are basically the same tube physically as the E88CC I assume it's the same stuff like the Philips/Siemens CCa vs E88CC - basically the tube that tests better, the pair that matches better, and has lower plate resistance will sound better in my Lyr 2 from my experience. So my bet would be no, but I have no evidence :D

Agree with @winders on the top plate detail. All four vintage years I have of the Tele E88CC do not have this additional top plate. The Tele PCC88 I own do have the the additional top plate. Check the Tele E188CC, it might also have the addition top plate. I say this because that is the case with Amperex, 6922 do not, 7308 do have it. Again this is with the tubes I own, not saying this is consistent with all vintage years, but I had noticed this detail before, same detail for the 7308 and 7DJ8, different (no add'l plate) for 6922.

What is your opinion about Lisst tubes with $ 100?
Do you suggest it ?
Is it better than stock tubes ?
THX for your answer

I have the LISST tubes, and I do not recommend them. Get a decent set of normal tubes. The LISST are incredibly noisy - they're "solid state", but even Schiit admits they have a lot of noise. It makes it hard to enjoy music if you need to turn up the volume. The sound isn't special, either. Fairly boring, and of course there's all the noise. Just spend the $100 on decent tubes that are known for being neutral if that's what you're looking for.

Personally had a bad purchase experience from him. The tubes were not as listed. He also sells under another username with the same shipping address.

Buyer beware...
