As both Nic and I have said,the E88CC is the special quality version of this double triode valve,and has almost exactly similar electrical characteristics to the lower quality ECC88.
Again,both of us have suggested that it's best to stick with the original Mullard valves for small signal applications,as most of the modern equivalents are nowhere near as good.
Obviously,the old or NOS tubes,will cost significantly more,but given the lifetime of small signal triodes,it will be money well spent in the end.
Harry at Chelmer Valve is a great guy,and knows almost every bit of stock he has.....if you want the best at a fair price,take the Mullard E88CC's,or their military equivalents,as listed by Nic.
In all of the valve gear I have,or have had,I've found the original tubes to be the best,even if some are getting hard to obtain now,and the only real exceptions have been in terms of power tubes such as the TJ Meshplate 300Bs,or the Chinese KT66 copies,some of which are now pretty much indistinguishable from the originals.
