I've found the consistency of the JJ E88CC to be very, very good in the past. The gold pin version anyway.
The problem with that tube for the last nearly two years has been availability. From what I was told by one their NA distributors, JJ decided to re-tool their E88CC line to also produce a frame-grid 12AX7. They managed to get the new frame-grid 12AX7 production up before the pandemic hit. They've been struggling to get the E88CCs going ever since. It's been three months or more since I looked into it, but matched pairs of the gold-pins were like hen's teeth then. When I last spoke the that distributor, he was expecting to receive some QC samples of the E88CC from JJ.
I hope JJ gets it together with that tube. I don't wanna pull my Teles out if I don't have to.
