SssJedi Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) Further information: 2 valvo e188cc gold pin audio tubes (euro version of 7308) in original boxes Valvo hand selected and tested their Red Label tubes for the German Post Office Communications Division. This is Philips version of 'CCa' for the E188CC line. Higher Quality than 'SQ'. Gold Pins Red Valvo print -O- Getters Production numbers : VR6 - Holland made Tube 1 = 17 mA - 11 mA/v / 20 mA - 12 mA/v Tube 2 = 12 mA - 10 mA/v / 12 mA - 10 mA/v AVO book New 100% Values : 12 mA - 11,5 mA/v I would describe the sound as being the best of Siemens CCA's (lush, holographic) and Amperex white label US made PQs (dynamic, incredible bass impact). More details on these tubes are here: http://www.audiotubes.com/6dj8.htm These tubes (Philips SQ miniwatt version) finished near the top in famous shootout: https://www.changstar.com/www.changstar.com/index.php/topic%2C2587.0.html These are getting harder to find in good condition, let alone NOS and normally go from between $700-$1000 on sites like Ebay and Reverb. Whilst I have a matching quad set, I am keeping a pair for myself.
