In response to the poster's question, if the rest of the signal chain is very clean, I prefer siemens grey plate cca. If things are not "quite there", however, the telefunken cca's are a little softer, and i often find them preferable. Several times i have noticed that the telefunkens sounded better when equipment was new, but the siemens sounded best when the same equipment was finally broken in. Not too scientific, just my observations.
Tele CCa Vs, Siemens CCa
I have the Siemens early 60's CCa and would like to know the sound characteristics of the Tele CCa in compairison to the Siemens CCa.
Is the Tele E188CC as good as the Tele CCa.
Are the Siemens CCa D getter any better than the O getter?
