Tube fakes, any experts out there?


I understand that there are many counterfeit tubes out there, anyone have knowledge on how to tell the differences between the real ones and the relabled ones. I just bought some Siemens CCa's which I wonder if they are real.

thanks

I'm glad to help guys, your welcome.
Another tube that I find to give the Siemens CCa a run for it's money are the Siemens 7308 (E188CC designation in Europe), On my Line 2SE I found it better than the Siemens CCa. I bought mine from Kevin Deal,great guy by the way.
Hi Derrick: Thanks, but even at "steal" prices, they are out of my budget.
Again thanks to Rmml. Checked out the link and went to the closet to check those Bugle Boys. All is well and I will sink them into my Sonicfrontiers dac. Ebay seems to have the ball when it comes to NOS. Lots of Amperex tubes.
Swampwalker, " Siemens Germany" instead of " Western Germany " could well be of East German provenience.
