Hi all My Octave HP700 pre uses, amongst others, a Telefunken ECC88. Can I use an E188CC? If not why? Am I right in thinking the E88CC is far superior to the ECC88?
The Telefunken E88CC has much longer life (10,000 hrs vs 2000 hrs) and sounds fuller and smoother than the ECC88. I had ARC SP-9 MKII and MKIII. The E88CC sounded better in the MKIII, the ECC88 better in the MKII.
