These are ultra rare - VALVO GERMANY RED LABEL E88CC E88CC - A FRAME DISK GETTER - GOLD PIN preamp tubes !!! These are so rare and sought after, they are IMPOSSIBLE to find perfectly matched and flawless print like these. Identical 7L3 D6G2 etch codes in excellent, clear presentation. What puts these over the top is the sequential factory screening codes. A set like these will never show up like this again - we can't ever remember seeing these on Ebay or where-ever.

The red label types where the premier E88CC VALVO ever made. Some experts consider these the 'professional grade'. They come from one of the finest fab lines in Germany or the world: HAMBURG. Given the print quality, pin condition, and testing codes and our test levels - it's our opinion these are brand new tubes back from 1966.

Known as 'The Kings of Bass', the bass precision and depth these have is unmatched. Given your system is up to the level of performance of course. The performance is beautiful across the board - musical and true with wonderfully saturated color - but the bass is exquisite. Color saturation is fantastic on the red labels. Tube heads in the know know exactly what these can do.

Testing is well matched on our Hickok 752A, both side-to-side and tube-to-tube and solid at full NOS levels. The gold pins on these distinguish the as 6922 grade tubes. 

These tubes come with matched grey plate / silver shields, these best plate/screen configuration. Thus these are the 'holy grail' of the 6DJ8 screen grid type tube. These are from the Valvo Hamburg plant, which produced some of the most musical beautifully balanced of the audio screen grids. This is such a superior choice for audio preamps from traditional reissues.

Platinum Grade print as you can see in the pictures. Full NOS test levels, see test results below:

They are fully socket-compatible with standard standard 6DJ8 types but are WAY better sounding. A superb pair for your high-end home audio as well as pro audio equipment.

Such a rare chance... get these while you can - another pair like these may never appear again!
