They might reprint the label...CCA

Of course, They look very good...it is to me as well

I was looking through Tele CCa...however, look at this print.

Definitely looks legit. Diamond bottom with a Ulm factory code. Damn pristine looking labels. Quite expensive though.

Yeah, I posted because I was curious. Asking your opinion. Legit or not, I don't know.

"CCA" fellas, "CCa" is the correct term. All my tubes say "CCa" on em. Fake imo possibly E88CC rebrand.

Those Telefunken CCa tubes, if real, were made on Valentine's Day in 1963 in Ulm, Germany.

One photo has uppercase "CCA" and another has mixed case "CCa". Buyer beware!

Agreed. It’s beyond strange he has a set with full on uppercase Teles CCas then lower case “a” on another set. Most of the pics online from reputable dealers have the “a” in lower case. I’d stear clear.

Didn’t see the difference in the two CCa/Cca’s. If they are supposedly the same codes that makes no sense. Look at pics of other Tele Cca’s and see what their CCa print is. Plus again the price! That’s a $700 roll of the dice that they sound THAT much better than your E188CC’s...if better at all. I’d just pretend like I never saw the ad

Thank you, Clear my curiosity. Quite an expensive side, I won't play that dangerous dice!

Bottom of the pins look like they've been re-plated/dipped, there's usually an indent/dimple in the bottom of the pins, like these:

The print is definitely suspect, one photo has the correct a, the other photo has the wrong a, and the letters on CCA look etched on one by one, they're not lined up properly. Code ink looks suspect too.

If I was a betting man....

 

[billerb1]

Now THAT'S funny.

Lol, you should look up on google when a chia pet and tiger mate. Funny stuff.

@TK16 Have you tried the Aeon Open Flows with any Amperex or Siemens? Those two synergize so well with the headphones. Makes them feel like they have a much wider stage than it really has and very musical. How do you like the AFOs compared with the LCD-2Cs?

Cans just came in, using the short stock balanced cable, uncomfortably on the floor. Can't do a fair comparison sing the LCD2 C is burnt in and using a high quality cable. This is my 4th pair of planars and these seem like something is going to fall off if I sneeze. That doesn't matter if I like the cans. Wanted a warm light pair of cans to compliment the HD 700'S sound Sig also light cans. Burning in the LM E's right now not changing tubes yet.
Got a balanced Black Dragon cable coming in tomorrow for the AFO's.

With the AFOs, you want to bake them for a good 60 hours. Without any filters they start off with a bit of sharp treble then settles down after you bake them in. In case you do find the top a bit harsh you can use any of the provided filters to dampen dat top end. They're fantastic after that and react really well to different tubes on the MJ2.

Hope you like them as much as Koover and I.

Looking forward to your comparison of the AFO with the LDC2 C. And congrats on the new cans.
