Dokken Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) SOLD Item: Matched pair of original Telefunken 1968 O-Getter gold pin tubes Location: EPPING VIC 3076 Price: $450 including free postage anywhere within Australia (ie. tubes will be safely packed with an Australia Post tracking number provided and Signature on delivery) Item Condition: Excellent (see pics below. One tube has some fading on the tube code) Reason for selling: Need the funds Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Bank Deposit or Paypal (nb. only using Friends and Family payment option) Extra Info: These tubes were originally purchased as NOS. I have put a maximum of 200 hours on them and they have only ever been used in my cd player so they have never been driven hard. Life expectancy is around 8,000-10,000 hours on these tubes. They are the real deal and have the bottom diamond inscription on the glass (as shown in pics below), O-Getter and gold pins. The Telefunken 6922/E88CC tubes are becoming harder and harder to source and do not come up for sale very often on Stereonet. Prices have even gone up to $349 US dollars for just 1 tube!! (eg. https://www.upscaleaudio.com/products/telefunken-e88cc-6922) They are one of the most sought after 6922/E88CC tubes for good reason. Neutral and very natural sounding with a large soundstage and a flat frequency response is the best way to describe them! Tube Details and Specs: Tube 1 code - U3208104 (manufactured in Ulm, West Germany on 23 January, 1968) Tube 2 code - U2108604 (manufactured in Ulm, West Germany on 12 June, 1968) Tube measurements using Hickok tube tester when originally purchased: Please note, new tube measures 10/10 Tube 1 - 10.5/10.5 Tube 2 - 11/11 Pictures: Edited November 8, 2018 by Dokken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metal beat Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 These are the the best 6922 tubes you can buy. My last pair were still going strong at 16,000 hours - a bit soft at both extremes thou vs a newer pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokken Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 I don't think they are as clinical sounding as people say. They are warmer sounding than Siemens 6922 tubes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not heard any better than the Phillips SQ (they slay Siemens A frame) but I am yet to hear Telefunken. Good pick up from Dokken, natures gentleman!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply better in my opinion Darren, they tell you more of the truth in a better way. They polish the mirror and some how iron out your wrinkles at the same time. My only pair died, been a bit rich for my blood to replace, very, very good things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea gone thru plenty, including the Philips. Telefunken r the best imo. As mentioned above - they are a clean window onto the music and last forever. Touch wood!! I just bought a new pair, then these came up I don't need them, but they are bloody expensive now - so will go into the vault for when the new ones get old.
