The ECC88 = 6DJ8. The PCC88 = 7DJ8. The ECC189 = 6ES8, which is a variable mu (gain) type. The PCC189 = 7ES8 and it is NOT suitable for audio service.AI preamps are notorious tube eaters, as your experience indicates. The "best" tube for service in your unit is NOS Russian 6n23p-ev. The Russian NOS is TOUGH and has decent sonics.
