The E80CC is so good that it has now found a new home in my 12AX7/ECC83 tube socket as well. I simply cannot believe how good this tube sounds in a MU follower position. Sure the heater current is double than that of the 12AU7/ECC82 and the MU is significantly lower compared to the 12AX7/ECC83 but hell the tube is one dead silent mother and has excellent linearity. It simply has no microphonics period. Try a kitchen fork (very gently....now) on its side. It has no ring. My favourite E80CC's are the pinched waist D-getter foil strip variety from the mid 1950's with the unique manufacturing code of "4" in an open font style from Eindhoven, Holland. The Heerlen, Holland variety from the late 1950's are also fine sounding tubes.
