Description
Nice pair E80CC twin triodes, Excellent condition, made by Philips in Heerlen, Netherlands
This is a pair E80CC is produced by Philips in the sixties in Heerlen, the Netherlands. The tubes have a ring getter on copper post, reinforced and long ribbed plates, see pictures.
It is highly regarded as an Audio amplifier due to the matched sections and good linearity.
Very healthy NOS tubes with matching systems; see test results.
Sonics
The PhilipsE80CC is highly regarded as a ECC82 replacement. I refer to the many threads on the web for more information. Excellent low noise and very smooth performer with substantial authority.
Verdict of a buyer: The sound is excellent – tight, nice sound stage, super balanced with authority.
Note: if your system is “dull sounding” this tube is a first choice.
