Description
This is a pair of NOS testing Siemens Halske CCa made in Germany. It is the preferred grey shield version. The properties of this tube are legendary and widely known. I refer to the many threads on the web for more information. The tube is thoroughly tested and it has excellent electrical values (note test results below). NOS testing tubes!
Siemens produced a very limited number of these beauties.
Note: I also offer a Telefunken CCa pair; a famous tube also!.
The tube codes A@1 3I and A@1 5K on the glass indicates that the tubes were manufactured in 1963 and 1965 in Germany. The tubes have the typical E88CC plate structure. The pair has excellent test values that match the factory specification very well systems.
Sonics
Excellent preamp valve, low noise, very smooth extended highs, very good in phono stages.
CCa / E88CC: balanced and smooth sounding with liquid midrange, recommended!
