Close enough to ECC180 and then close enough to E180CC I suggested?:-) I hope that I`ll find some time to breadbord E188CC version first and see is it good enough. If yes, E180CC (and little correction for ECC180/6BQ7-A if necessary) is in order... I just don`t have the instruments good enough for checking RIAA accuracy, that`s the problem. Any idea? Any desire to breadbord it?
