Tube fakes, any experts out there?


I understand that there are many counterfeit tubes out there, anyone have knowledge on how to tell the differences between the real ones and the relabled ones. I just bought some Siemens CCa's which I wonder if they are real.

thanks

There is some good information at http://www.upscaleaudio.com/
Some NOS fakes are semi fakes. There are tubes that were made at one time in Japan from the original manufacturers specs. So these tubes are fakes, but sometimes very good ones. Some fakes are "rebranded".
