Me too! Alright, I’ll see if I can set up a group private chat. Would everyone want 2 (and share out the spares if it’s only 3 of us)? why a private chat? im in for 2 please. I dunno, I thought it was best not to clog up the thread with logistics of the purchase etc. Nice one. That’s 8/10 so far. I’m perfectly happy to buy the 10 and keep two spare or sell on if no one else is interested. |

Good clear photos, looks just like mine to my eyes, 100% feedback and he is open to offers. There are others with much more valve knowledge than me though. |

Yep - only require the 2 but if I end up with 3 then so be it  |

I’ll leave it until later to see if there’s another taker for the other 2 (I’m assuming everyone else wants 2 as well, besides me and Pete), then I’ll get something organised between us.

The Siemens PCC88 group buy has been initiated! If a 5th person is interested there are 2 going spare, but a couple of us are happy to have a spare, if not. Hopefully should not be more then £15 a piece, so shout if you’re interested.
Also picked myself up that TFK ECC83.

So after my recent enjoyable experience with thier ecc83 I just ordered some Tungsram pcc88s out of curiosity, not too expensive so will report back when they have had a run out.

It’s a day and probably 6-7 hours of play into the new valves (2* Siemens PCC88 and a TFK ECC83). The difference is immediately obvious. At this stage I’m hearing a little extra resolution and dynamics and a slightly juicer timbre, but notably tighter and more detailed bass. That grabbed me right from the off.
I can’t tell you what is attributable to which valve as I didn’t have the patience to experiment one at a time, but I like the overall change and am looking forward to hearing as things break in.

That's the combination I have been using in mine forever. Superb resolution and detail, With natural levels of meat on the bone. Glad to hear the standard recommended valves are working well so far. |

Great to hear the new valve are doing so well, looking forward to trying the Siemens in my BB3. Looking like the group buy was a great success! |

They look like they were made yesterday, two Tungsram ECC82's were the first tubes I purchased to tube roll, unfortunately have yet to try them since they are in the uk, I've since bought a ECC83 as well.

Today is a sad day. I think my Tungsram ECC83 foil getter has popped it’s clogs….
It was a lovely sounding valve as well.
