JJ-E88CCG
JJ E88CC / 6922 Gold Pin Preamp Vacuum Tube

    This is a limited run of burned-in, cryogenically treated tubes. These tubes are manufactured by JJ in Slovakia but undergo additional treatment and cryogenic soaking here at TubeDepot. These tubes do not have the standard ink logo applied by JJ because they have underwent these additional processes.

    Providing precision imaging coupled with staggering dynamics, this tube easily resurrects the transparent tone and harmonic impact of historical Siemens and Telefunken tubes. Confidently standing alongside these vintage offerings, this JJ E88CC Gold Pin tube is full-bodied, with a very large soundstage that doesn't fall apart with musically complex sources. Whether installed in a phono stage or microphone preamp, this JJ E88CC Gold Pin will breathe new life into all equipment and awaken the best musical experiences.

    • I've only had this for a few weeks and it's not fully broken in. I have about 25 - 30 hours on it is all. I'm using it in a Schiit Vali 2 headphone amp with a Schiit Modi 2 Uber DAC and Sennheiser HD 650 headphones rounding out the rest of my system. I'm new to tube rolling so take this review with that in mind. So far this is the best tube I have for the Vali but I only have 3 sooooo. The stock tube is terrible, I like this JJ, and I just got a new one I haven't listened to yet. What this JJ does so well is tame the highs. My previous amp was the Magni 2 Uber and the highs on it were annoyingly shrill at times. Another like for the JJ is it's just kind of relaxed. It sounds nice. If I don't find a better sounding tube I'm ok with that. Shipping was fast, I got what I ordered, whats not to like?

    • I use this JJ with my AUNE T1 SE. It's definitely better than the stock tube. The sound is smooth and warm. The details are clear and clean. Very pleased with the tube. The shipping was fast and the package was secure.

    • Great tube for the money, using it in a Vali 2 and really enjoy the way it sounds. Much nicer then stock. The tube in my humble opinion is richer and just overall sounds nicer.

    • I have a Schiitt Lyr. I was using the factory GE tubes that they supply. They sound grainy to me . I decided to buy these JJ’s Gold pin. My musis came alive. I also bought the Genelex Gold Lions they sound good but there boring. I have A and B tested them and the JJ’s are better. I use them with the Sennheiser HD650 and they make these headphones sound fantastic. The veil people say on these headphones doesn’t exist. It is there with the Gold Lions. Get the JJ,s. Great value for the money!

    • I'm using this in a Schiit Vali 2 headphone amp. Plugging headphones into my instrument mixer is okay, but I find a vast improvement in clarity when I run the mixer's signal through the headphone amp. I also tested the Schiit against a Fiio Mont Blanc headphone amp. The Schiit Vali 2's output is noticeably warmer with better bass response. I know this is all totally subjective. Also, based on research, I didn't even experiment with the stock tube that came with the Vali 2. I just plugged the JJ into the amp as soon as I unboxed it. I like the sound the JJ kicks out so much that I feel no need to audition the stock tube.

    • I ordered 5 JJ Gold Pin E88CC for use in a Massdrop Cavalli Hybrid CTH desktop headphone amp: I did not order pretested or matched tubes. Product: My subjective impression of the sound was lower bass was (perhaps) less controlled but what do I know. Otherwise, the sound of the tube sounded a bit fatter and more euphonic then what I had been using. I found the sound at this price point a very pleasing compromise. One tube failed and TubeDepot quickly mailed a replacement. Good stuff

    • I am using these in a Cary Audio SLI80 integrated amp. They have a nice warm smooth sound. Easy on the highs which sounds good to my ears.

    • Purchased (8) Balanced Triodes, High Gain, Low Noise & matched pairs to replace aged 6922 pre-amp tubes in a Audio Research Model Reference 2 Pre-amplifier. After 24-hour burn in they measured essentially flat from 10 Hz to 40 kHz +/- 1 dB. I'm extremely pleased with their performance. Well worth the price.

    • I am using these tubes for Cary SLI 80 Signature. Thank tubedepot for help me matched. Sound is very very good. Sound is warm, clear and rich of details.

    • Replaced stock Schiit Mjolnir 2 tubes with these. So far so good pairing with LCD-X

    • I ordered this tube for my RODE NTK microphone. I found it to be very pleasing to my ear. Beats the stock tube all day long. This tube is not cheap...rather it is inexpensive. I ordered as a guest and I was so pleased with the quality of service I had to make an account. Tube Depot takes great pride in there packaging and customer service. I appreciate that. I am a fan! Thank you.

    • I bought this tube for a Schiit Vali 2+ and it has really opened this thing up. The stock tube didn't sound good and I bought a Telefunken as well but this tube really shines. Worth having in your arsenal if you are into tube rolling.

    • Just received a matched set of the JJ E88CC Gold Pin tubes. They came very well packaged. I installed them in my Schiit Lyr and was very impressed. They sound very good with no break-in time. The sound stage is very much improved over the GE 6BZ7 tubes as well as the bass. The highs are clear and precise with very little roll off, super smooth. I have been listening to a pair of matched 6H23n-EB's matched and cryoset certified, I am not sure which tube I prefer, the JJ I believe is a bit fuller.

    • Replaced the stock 6n1p tubes in my Schiit Freya N and there was an immediate improvement in the sound. I'm using them in both my Freya and my Vali2+ and they sound great.
