Featuring heavy, thick top flashing, big halo getters and and stout 10mm grey plates -- this is one of the best ever 6AQ8 varient tubes. If you need this number for your classic tuner or receiver -- buy only classic British, USA or German production. You won't be sorry -- better detail and tone will result.
A nicely matched set of Telefunken ECC85 (6AQ8). This is the early generation, produced from the late 1950s - mid 1960s. This excellent, low hours scored a close match in transconductance on all (4) sides.
If you're shopping for a matched pair of these, rest easy -- you've jound the best, grab them soon -- as they will sell with lightning speed (see my 100% , 5 star feedback on vintage tubes ).....
Exhibit B -- shows actual listed tube (s) under test, dynamic emissions at full load for easy reference. Both tubes / all (4) sides reading ~ STRONG 110% (or more).
They test (and sound) strong, quiet and were current matched (balanced plates) on a 2nd lab tester at full plate 250V.
In old plain boxes where they've been stored for years. Quite old tubes, low hours, they were amongst NOS or low use -- spares from early HiFi estate. Just throughly checked using multiple testers and played with through a scope. Working well; quiet and matched, detailed and sounding great! Guaranteed no problems, and REALLY fast shipping, in the mail usually same day, with a tracking #. See my detailed, 100% feedback on tubes.
These are the real McCoy, and you should not pass up the best. The most throughly tested, closest matching set you will see anywhere!
Made in Germany ... from the very early 1960's!
They sound wonderful and as before, will sell very quickly.
Check my 100% feedback (check over what buyers have to say ... they love these vintage US tubes and I get allot of repeat customers, who don't hesitate to snap these up) ... always super fast shipping, and always super safe double box packing !!
100% happiness assured on all tubes and old audio items. Guaranteed NO DOA.
