Philips E88CC SQ special quality Question???


Anybody familiar with this type of tube? What is special about it? How does it sound? I saw some here on Audiogon and Ebay. Are these good for preamp use and what is a reasonable price for it?

Go over to Audio Asylum and look up joe's tube lore as there is a wealth of info. I have a pair and they are nice sounding tubes, not as good as my E188cc Amperexs but better than the Buggle boys or Mullards I have, so I guess someware in the middle and much better than the new stuff, at least the one's I have. I bought three of these and I think I paid around $50 and they were advertised as used but with plenty of life in them and came from a good seller. If your just getting around to tube rolling I would stick with buying from Audiogon rather than Ebay unless you know what your looking for and or know the seller, but pay attenion where ever you buy though. In a earlier thread you mention SF line 2 and the best position is LV2 and V2 per Chris Johnson.
