RE: Do All Phillips Ecc83 Have Etched Codes?

Hey pal,
After alittle investigating, they do seem to be Siemens made, Munich 68'.
Found a helpful German webpage called tube-classics.de.
Anyways, this tube has been a revelation for me. I'm hearing things in recordings I've never noticed, and not a hint of hardness or siblance in the highs or mids. Bass is fast and very accurate but it's the one thing I find the early Tungsram tubes do better. I don't know what it is but this Philips tube casts a soundstage like none other. Makes me want to search out those klangfilm Siemens and hear if it can get even better!
Take care Oscar.
