Request a Tube →Product Summary
E288CC, the tube that should get full attention from tube sound enthusiasts but hasn't. Why? Let's review the technical specs of this tube before we answer that question: essentially E188CC/7308 in a slightly taller bottle, plug and play compatible with every other model in the 6DJ8 family - ECC88/6DJ8, E88CC/6922, E188CC/7308 and CCa, while the filament current draw is slightly higher, manufacture screened triodes for ultra low noise, and minimum 10K hours heater life. Still not convinced? How about getting the E188CC sound at the price of E88CC or maybe even a little lower, which means a fraction of the E188CC's price? Therefore, if your application allows for one-half inch additional room to house the E288CC tubes, this can (not "could") be your solution to the "best sound" problem. Just a thought...
Also, it turns out Siemens and Telefunken were both involved in making these unusual but fantastic tubes. So don't be surprised when you see the lovely diamond logo on one of these tubes. As we often remind everyone about this type of combination: 100% Munich house sound, 200% German brand prestige!
BTW there's one more thing: original boxes don't seem to be rare any more these days so are also including the original "Gurantiekarte" (warranty card) for an alternative flavor. Warning: the warranty expired 60 years ago.
The airy and transparent sound produced by the vintage Siemens tubes has been unrivaled even to this day. The magically extended yet never tizzy highs, coupled with the slightly focused upper mid-range, deliver a clear presentation of the entire frequency spectrum, completed by the precise and deep controlled bass. And the most defining sound characteristic of Siemens E288CC/E188CC tubes is their ability to retrieve the deepest levels of detail in sound, and these hidden sonic layers can go a long way to revealing the subtle ambient clues that help complete building a truly 3D holographic presentation. While as quiet and analytical as the best Telefunken E188CC tubes, Siemens E188CC's produce a warmer, smoother and more musical sound.
