Description
Mullard E88CC twin triodes, Mitcham, United Kingdom.
These tubes have a dimple disk getter getter and they are manufactured in 1968 & 1969 by Mullard Mitcham UK. They are the long life version of a ECC88 tube.
The dimple disk version of Mullard is known as a very fine E88CC; with a liquid, creamy and very detailed sound image. I refer to the web for more information.
The pair is assumed to be NOS. Both tubes are thoroughly tested. And the matched pair has excellent test values that match the factory specifications of a new tube very well and and both tubes have balanced systems. See test results below.
