ECC85 vs. PCC88

The ECC85 costs a lot more than the PCC88.
This ECC85 is a double triode for the front end stages of FM radio receivers.
The PCC88 is a television RF amplifier double frame-grid triode with separate cathodes.
I think that's why it costs less.

Ciao.
 
One more thing.
The more i listen,the more i like to listen this PCC's88.
I was wrong about the low frequencies.They are not farback(is that the word??).
They are not so fat as with the ECC's85.Instead they are more detailed and because of that more thick ,more "dry".

Have fun.
 
About the PCC88,i read this in Tubestore.com :

" The PCC88 tube is very similar to the 6DJ8 except that it can use a heater voltage of 7V. Many audiophiles report excellent performance in 6DJ8/6922 circuits with no modifications required. The PCC88 tubes are also used in the popular EAR preamp and power amps."

Ciao.
