Hi
the double mica e82cc was the latest one from Munich factory. Nothing special and much worse tube in comparison with 60s triple mica e82cc. Both tubes in your link were much better. The left one is long plate late 50s ecc82.This tube is very fine, rounded and musical and also comparable to other 50s Euro like Philips or Valvo long plate ecc82. However this tube is not so magical in mid. The right one is famous silver plate ecc82 one of my favorite Siemens. This tube is more analytical with great extension in bass and high but not so rounded, particularly in mid. If you have the tubes from the pictures, test them carefully and made a decision which one you prefer, because older long plate Siemens & Halske mid-late 50s sound different then the latter 60s triple micas e82cc.

My advice is to try some triple mica e82cc, because it combines the virtues of analytical and most musical tubes.

Valvo – Siemens made 6067 or triple mica silver plate is very rare and pricy tubes, while you can find 60s triple mica e82cc for the relatively fair price. Try to find old one from late 50s-early 60s in blue-yellow Siemens & Halske box.
