Actually, I think those should be rather good and punch way above their price, sonically, if my experience of other Russian NOS military spec valves (6H8/9C, etc), is anything to go by!

I will let you know when they arrive, they are half the price of the Electroharmonix offerings
Found these from the same seller, I might take a punt: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1307812267...84.m1438.l2649

Not saying they won't be good, but the "e" suffixed ones were made to higher tolerances for military use. Probably longer life too.Originally Posted by Marco

Designated as "CCa", they are hand-selected Siemens E88CC, reserved for the German telephone system.
Not only are they difficult to find, they are enormously expensive - well over £100 each!

I was looking for these at one time for my Audion phono stage and couldn't find them.
Now I found them but no longer have a TT,phono stage or LP's.
