Radiotechnique 12AU7 - Made in France. This is the earliest version of this tube, period. There was a middle version that we had available, but did not dig as much. In fact there are four versions that I have in stock. Only this version, and the 1965 version are cool in my book. This one is made in 1956, early square getter, small plate. Sound wonderful, and seem to last.

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.

Using Radiotechnique in Cary 303-300 CD Player 9/19/2006

Reviewed by: Jerry from The Right Coast.

Greetings Kevin, One of your staff recommended this tube (1956 Radiotechnicque 12AU7) for my 303-300 after discussing my system with me...and it''s an unbelievable home run. The upper register clarity and "liveness" of this tube coupled with great bass and very low microphony make it an amazing listen. Huge improvement over the stock EH''s in the Cary. Huge!!! Highly recommended. Thanks!
