Siemens Halske versus Siemens Rohre

I am new to tubes and have heard that Siemens Halske tubes are much better than Siemens Rohre. I am wondering if this is true for 6DJ8 tubes. Often times on Ebay I see tubes advertised as Siemens Halske but the box in the picture will say Rohre on it. Should I completely eliminate any Rohre tubes from consideration? Thanks in advance for your input

I agree with Tvad. That price was outrageous for a pair. A nice quad for that price would have been more acceptable.

No Joe. I don't need any CCa for now. I have a back-up pair and am good to go for a few years. Good luck and I hope you win a good set of CCa to enjoy the music for many years to come.

I agree, Joe. You need to be careful and selective. You need to have assurance that you are getting a geniune Siemens CCa tube when they are commanding such high prices.
