E83CC Current Balanced

Product Details

JJ E83CC with fully Balanced Triodes. The JJ E83CC is a true Frame Grid style, high quality, low noise replacement for any 12AX7 type tube. These are available with current Balanced triodes for phase inverter use and Balanced and Matched in pairs or multiples.

Sonically the JJ E83CC sounds similar to their classic ECC83S but with a firmer extension in the lows and highs, as well as more definition from top to bottom. In guitar amplifier circuits most users will observe a more open overdriven sound with improved definition and clarity at extreme settings.

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

The JJ E83CC is a true frame grid 12AX7 type that utilizes a historically recognizable short plate design. These tubes utilize a spiral filament which combined with the unique construction characteristics of the classic short plate design provides very low hum and noise figures (typically right in the 4-6nV/√Hz range).

Sonically these tubes have a very even voice with a firmer bass and treble response compared to the classic ECC83S. Audio enthusiasts will love the reduction of higher order distortion harmonics. Guitar players will find that these tubes provide a more open overdriven sound and increased clarity at extreme settings.

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