Many of these tubes say 'Made in Germany' and the design is a replica of the Siemens ECC88, but the factory and date codes indicate they were made in the Tesla Rostov plant during the Cold War. These have a beautifully clean sound and are not expensive. Maybe tubemonger has them?

Also, I like 12BH7 but it doesn't work in an ECC88 circuit.

Hello and thanks for the advice.
It seems that the good ones are not that cheap actually ...

Unfortunately i did not find a buffer using the 12bh7.
And they are really cheap ...

Thanks again.
Kind regards,

    Thanks a lot for the site !
    I would also like to try the 6V equivalent of the 12bh7, the 6GU7
    But i have to check with the seller first if it is usable.
    
    Kind regards,
