Description

Mullard 12AX7 / ECC83 - Price of NOS 12AX7s got you down? This new re-issue of the famous Mullard 12AX7 made in Russia is the answer to your woes! Very low noise and microphony make this tube an excellent candidate for many touchy preamps and phonostage applications. Has a smoother midrange similar to NOS Mullards (though not quite the same). Some folks have reported them to be a smidge relaxed on top. If you want something with a little more lively presentation, try the new production Tung-Sol 12AX7.

A quick note on this tube: The filaments on these tubes are almost completely encased in the plate structure. So if you don't see them glowing as bright as some of your other 12AX7s... don't sweat it. It's normal for this tube.

This tube tested extremely low in noise and microphonics across the board, so we do not have any Driver Grade.

Gold grade - Low noise and microphonics with a triode balance typically between 15% and 20%, but may be higher depending on available stock.

Platinum grade - The best of the best. Lowest noise and microphony with the tightest triode balance we have available. This is typically 10% or tighter, but may be higher depending on available stock.

Driver grade - Not available for this tube.
If you have a preamp or phonostage, you need at least Gold grade.

I can''t believe my ears !! 11/8/2008

Reviewed by: kevin woodbury from covntry,RI.

I have rolled tubes in and out of my PL dialogue one liking the different flavors of sound, BUT this new mullard reissue is a home run. Sweet smooth highs and very nice detail, air and warmth from top to bottom. The bass is tight without any bloat at all. Just a wonderful sounding tube and they are dead quiet and seem to last, these are staying in here and trust me I have plent of NOS on hands These are that good, try a pair your ears will thank you

At last! a new tube worthy of being called a Mullard! 10/2/2008

Reviewed by: Datman from Los Angeles, CA.

These are amazing. They are quiet. They are well made. And the sound! Full deep bass wiout bloat. Classic Mullard mids to die for! And the MOST beautiful highs. Clear, balanced, unforced in any way and supremely easy to listen to. Overall I rate these as being the best of the currently available 12AX7''s and better than most of the NOS 12AX7s I have owned and listened to.
