A REAL tube company produces a NEW tube...the E813CC
Just got the new AudioXpress showing in good detail the new preamp replacement for the 12AX7A. The E813CC. Made in the old Mullard factory, it is NOT just a clone. I suggest folks buy the issue (you should subscribe anyway) and/or visit: www.techtubevalves.com GREAT tube info, even the magazine has AWESOME pictures. *IF* what they say is real, it should be a very interesting 1st stage tube. I just sent a order today, and will report ASAP. They are looking into other 12xxxx tubes, and into 6L6/KT66/KT88 designs. ALL made in the UK !!! Finally, we see a REAL tube company making NEW tubes. NOT just some drunk with rusting machines decades past being repaired, and no one who wants to work with their owner(s). This ought to be fun. JJTj coming very soon www.violentluck.com |

I'll stick with my REAL Mullards. |

I'll stick with my REAL Mullards. I did notice that they seem to be making quite a feature of the microphony - even with a warning not to tap it. To me this screams poor construction, with severe cost-cutting in the manufacturing process. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. d |

They're having problems with the planar-type construction. Brandon (Bludotone Amps) had four of 'em a month or so ago and every one of 'em whistled like a teakettle, even at low volume. They were supposedly going to send him some replacements, but I forgot to ask him about it when he was here picking up 10 quads of 6L6s for his Dumble clones yesterday. He uses JJs in his front ends; I can't stand 'em, but they seem to work great in the Dumble circuits. So - fifty smackers plus for a tube you can only use for a PI or a trem oscillator ain't gonna fly well, if you ask me. If they get it right, it should be a kickass item. They're claiming a 20,000-hour service life, too. I'd like that. ;-) Let's see what they can do with the 6L6. Lord Valve Expert (please obsess) |

Lord Valve Expert (please obsess) Yes, after reading a bit, it seems they are NOT ready for the guitar amp field. I ordered a few anyway. It's just nice to see the Blackburn folks trying again, as so much tube history comes from that area. I'm not crazy about JJ's in the front ends either, but in some amps, folks do love them. As far as 6L6 RCA style tubes go, I just doubt if we will ever see them made in the USA. That old gear is just too rusted and broken down to be worth fixing. I prefer KT66s anyway. hehe Thanks to all for the feedback, I'll keep up on it once the tubes arrive. JJTj Well, my Baby's sick and I don't know what to do.. YES!, my Baby's sick and I don't know what to do.. She's got twist fever, and a double case of guitar blues. Well, she twists on the highway, twisted in the swimming pool. she twists on the highway, twisted in the swimming pool. She twist's her breakfast..twist right off to school. WELL, Twist on, Baby..twist me one time more.. YEASH!, Twist on, Baby..twist me one time more.. Well, she can twist in the air, and twist right down to the floor. She got Twist Fever... She got Twist Fiev.r... She got Twist Feel... ...OH..!.. Feverl.......yeah..and... She got Twist Fever...and I just can't leave her alone. OY! Well, I took her to a doctor..goina find out what to do.. YESS!, took her to a doctor..goina find out what to do.. Well, the Doctor couldn't fix her..cause her Doctor is a Twister too. ...well..but... She got Twist Fever...and I just can't leave her alone. ...ohh...ohhh.ohhh..what?

The high sensitivity they seem to be touting is indeed sensitivity to vibration. In the Old School microphony in tubes was considered to be a bad thing. How twisted around things seem to have become! $50 plus shipping and any other fees for a tube that won't work right. I'll stick with my REAL Mullards. Hold that thought! I did notice that they seem to be making quite a feature of the microphony - even with a warning not to tap it. To me this screams poor construction, with severe cost-cutting in the manufacturing process. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole. If you look at the pictures you can see the game plan and the reason for all the microphony. The tube appears to be assembled from CRT gun parts. Instead of being sensibly located by mica end plates, everything seems to be hanging loose. |

Years ago one of the then big boutique companies tried using the 7077 planar triode as a first stage in a high gain D-style guitar amp. It worked OK but the price was prohibitive. There was a Russian functional equivalent that was played with as well but once the factory got wind that it was being looked at for a high dollar guitar amp they decided not to dump the supply for the tiny sum promised at first but to hold out for a semi-sustainable price. The company lost interest pretty quickly. |
