Anyone know if these would be worth trying on a Mjolnir 2 or Cavali LP: E88CC Phillips SQ 1964. I also have a Lyr 3. Thank you!

Could anyone kindly suggest some good tubes (in the $150 or less $$ range) to use for the Lyr 2 that work really well with an HD800 (SDR Mod)? I searched this thread going back a few years and it seems like much of the past recommendations are either really rare or extremely expensive right now.

Look for gold lions current production. But ebay is a great to get NOS soviet tubes, usually for a great price

I really like the Telefunken E88CC or E188CC on the MJ2 for soundstage and detail. They are a bit expensive but not $350 each that upscale sells for. I recently bought two pairs on eBay for $250 a pair and they were E188CC. The same guy still has auctions on I believe. They were NOS on my tester.

For less $, I think the Gold Lions are solid.

They are very highly sought after for a reason. Of course one could pay scientists to create a clone and the clone could live your life for you while you travel to 'be there' and experience it. Likely cheaper than buying a pair of matched ECC801S tubes. :D

One place where you may want to look is German eBay. However, I am not sure what the status is of shipping from Germany to the US at this time.

A seller I've been trying to get some other Telefunkens from said he won't ship because of COVID restrictions. Sound weird to me, but that's what he said. I've bought stuff recently from the Netherlands and other European countries with no issue.

Decent pairs of ECC801S's can be found for under $200 if you're patient and know where to look.
Well, I'm out as I am not patient and obviously do not know where to look. Or maybe I'm thinking of some other TFs. :D
