These tubes are just....WOW! The Telefunkens come off as being very natural sounding, and airy. These little gems DO bring out the best of my system. I also own a pair of Siemens E88CC's, which are up there with these Telefunkens. I bought the Gold grade Telefunkens, and as I said. Very happy with them! $189 a tube is a lot of money. But audio bliss doesn't come cheap. You will get what you pay for. These are without a doubt worth the money! Thank you to everyone at Upscale Audio!

I recently bought a Manley Steelhead which right out of the box is just outstanding! I talked with Kevin about tubes and ordered a pair of Telefunken E88CC tubes. What a nice sounding tube, they simply give you more, extended, clean, quiet, Open and most importantly very Musical . Highly recommended thanks Rich Irons

This tube is fantastic. Clean and clear and with a much more 3D sound to it. I also have tried a Philips pcc88 in the same mic. Also very clear but the 3D aspect of the Tele is just fantastic.

I needed tubes for a line stage and phono stage, 4 each. So I asked Kevin, I needed a quiet, musical tube. He recommended the Telefunken E88cc/6922. I'm glad he did, this tube sounds so right, musical, quiet, perfectly balanced. I got a second set for down the road. These gold pins are supreme, get some!

Superior smoothness when used in my Rode NTK microphone. Huge difference, and worth every penny. I went with the Platinum Grade, and recently replaced the microphone capsule as well.

All of these positive reviews started to feel like a dare. So I bought 4 of these for the Chinook, expecting to conclude that these reviews are exaggerations from a cult of crazies. Not. These things are the sh-t. I even copied the dude who mentioned Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side; he's right. Play the second track of Sturgill Simpson's new album. Or Etta James. Or Bill Evans. Or, um, any album in your collection. Instead of repeating what others are saying about the sound, I'll just say this: PHENOMENAL.

If you have a Manley Chinook Phono Stage you must try these tubes - simply transformative (and the manufacturer supplied tubes were very good) these take the sound to another level - more detail - more treble - more bass. Buy 'em!
