I just took out the 2 Philips SQ E80CC’s in the front of my Jadis Orch reference and rolled to the Siemens E80CC.
The Philips blows away any and every AU, ever made, including all Tele/Siemens, ampereex./philips,
But the Siemens blew away the Philips ,,,go figure,,I;d say ’Siemens tubes all, are top dogs, /King of all tubes.
= expenisve, but worth it.
I am trying to get all E288CC’s/Siemens(288 is the big boys in 6922's) in my Cayin cd17, bought 2 with full print = authentic Siemens, NOS, pair $150/baragin froma California seller. Will buy his other 2 when i have cash,,,now i will also buy NOS/or strong 12AX7’s for my jadis Defy, takes a quad, = don’t have to match, will pay no more than say,,,$60/ea.
<<<<will consider Dyanco which are Siemens.
<<want long plates.
<<<am telling you Siemens are the best tubes in the world, No hype, no snakeoil.
Those guys who made those tubes back in the 60’s/70’s really madea King of all preamp tubes.
<<<Love Philips/Amperex, but sadly, i have to dump that entire collection for all 100% Siemens,,I am not going to collect tubes any longer.
Siemens are simply magical,,My 2nd choice would be Teles.
But considering what someone wrote about, Siemens are my 1st and only choice, Detailed, airy.
<<<am telling you, i was really surprised at the siemens E80CC’s blowing out the highly regarded Philips SQ E80CC’s.
<<< have to sell all my E80ccs and get 4 more Siemens for my upcomming purchase of the Cayin SC6 preamp,,has,,FOUR!!!! AU sectiosn = 4 Siemens E80CC’s,,,,,,don’t get no better.
<<< will run 2 Siemens E288CC’s in one channel of the cayin 17 MARK1 and 2 Philips PCC88/1970 NOS ($22 each/ebay) and see how the Siemens respond.
No not at all worried about extra current in the 288’s.
cayin has hefty trans. Unit built likea tank.
