ECC83S Gold Pin Balanced and Matched

Product Details

JJ ECC83S Gold Pin with fully Balanced sections. If you need pairs or multiples of this tube use this option. These tubes have symmetrical performance between triodes and are ideal where total consistency and repeat-ability from tube to tube is desired. The Gold Pin tubes have a very open and lush character. When overdriven they have a very smooth and singing tone that's less gritty and less aggressive than the original ECC83S.

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 Gold Pin JJ ECC83S utilizes a historically recognizable short plate design and spiral filament. This contributes to the tubes inherently low noise floor and resistance to mechanical noise and microphonics. 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 ECC83S.

The Balanced and Matched selection allows you to order multiple balanced tubes that also match each other to make matched sets of tubes. This is ideal where total symmetry and consistency is desired. This is most commonly requested for Audio applications where parallel signal paths exist (such as a stereo pre amp or drivers in a stereo power amp).

The guitar players out there will observe the open and lush clean tones these provide. When overdriven they're very smooth and refined sounding with less grit and "teeth" than the original JJ ECC83S. If you're looking for more attitude and grind stick with the original or high gain selected ECC83S's.

HIFI users should observe an increase in bandwidth with a very lush presentation.
