ECC82 Gold Pin Balanced

Product Details

JJ ECC82 Gold Pin with fully Balanced triodes. We recommend these for long tail phase inverter stages which are common in most push pull circuits (most all guitar amps), or anywhere that a tube with symmetrical sections is desired.

All Gold Pin tubes feature internal components that have been selected off the assembly line and treated differently during the final construction process.

HIFI users can expect increased bandwidth and a smoother presentation with the Gold Pin tubes.

All our preamp tubes are stringently tested for noise and microphonics using Amplitrex testers driving an external amp. There is no extra charge for low noise and microphonics testing like with other tube vendors. Additionally the tubes undergo a battery of tests for basic performance characteristics and faults such as: Emissions, Transconductance, H-K and Grid leakage, etc...

Further, all of our ECC82's undergo a lengthened test duration to insure stability and accurate test results (as is necessary with all high current pre's).

If a tube does not pass our strict performance criteria it's tossed or sent back to JJ Electronic for evaluation.

The JJ ECC82's are true to spec examples of the classic 12AU7. The Gold Pin JJ ECC82 is based on the same construction as the original JJ ECC82. The internal components go through additional selection and processing during assembly. After working with these tubes for several years we can confirm they do test more consistently and sound noticeably different than the original JJ ECC82.

The Gold Pin variants are great where smooth clipping and extended presence characteristics are desired.

We recommend these for long tail phase inverter stages or anywhere that symmetrical performance between triodes is sought. It also gives you the plate current and transconductance spec for each triode which is nice if you're trying to keep records or maintain exact consistency from tube to tube. If you need multiple matched tubes please see our "Balanced and Matched" option.
