  No luck. Tubes not heating up. Maybe the CV1285 is not equivalent tube.
Everything I see seems to indicate they are.
Bummer.

i use those tubes with adapters  as drivers in my WA22 .Not sure but looks like a screw up in compatibilty chart as far as i recall you only use adapters with the ECC31 tubes the other ones are plug &play

Thanks for the link.Without the adapter the CV1285 did not heat up . With the adapter, I didn't touch the tube but also did not see it glow. Maybe I just got dead tubes, but they look pretty new. And the seller seems pretty legit; old_guy_radiola on eBay. Has the finest collection of awesome  and unusual tubes I've ever seen.

Have you ever googled the guy?

Why does Woo Audio's site  say no adapters for any eccxx ?

I have now.
Apparently some kinda character.
Does have some interesting tubes though.
Will see if he takes a return.
He offered to swap for some 6SN7s.

. Yes they do. Picture of adapters above

Maybe I got a defective pair of adapters.
They are inexpensive so worth another try.
But takes a while from China.

I have those adapters, good socket quality. tell seller your adapters are not working if your sure its the adapters and he should replace them usually they do .here's where i got them price is for one adapter

Thanks. I had already bookmarked that particular adapter. Figure I will pick them up. I had ordered some slightly cheaper ones. Wonder the likelihood the ones I got were duds. Would be awesome if I could get those tubes working

Is there one tube that works maybe you could swap sides just to see if the tube is to blame or the adapters

yes they do it's just weird that on their own site Woo doesn't state that one needs adapters for the eccxx's too bad I guess..

 

[Kiet Teoh]

it was stated ecc31s are require adapter just recently don't know why they changed... appreciated if Woo can clarify to avoid any future confusion/damage......
