Suburb or Town: Brisbane Northside State: QLD Payment Method: Paypal as a friend only please Reason for selling: Too many toobs Further Information: Siemens Halske 7DJ8 PCC88 (Branded Telefunken) 1970's tubes. These tubes use the same grey shield and large halo getter construction as the Telefunken 7DJ8's. Closely matched pair. In terms of sound these tubes very energetic with well defined bass and great detail. In my system, the Siemens tends to have really good upper midrange frequency energy and very good ambient retrieval. They are noticeably different to the 6DJ8 Siemens variants that I have tried in my preamp with fatter bass and slightly smoother through the midrange and treble. The 7DJ8 / PCC88 is a 7volt tube which can be a drop in replacement for 6V 9pin tubes (6922, 6DJ8s etc) in most equipment. They tend to last longer in devices that drive tubes hard and they (to my ears) have a slightly more relaxed sound than their 6DJ8 equivalents. Whilst these tubes are not as sought after as the CCA's, but they will suit systems looking for a slightly less lit-up mid and upper frequency range.
