NEC 12AX7A / ECC83 Japan

This one for example : Neutral, balanced, smooth, great bass, and real authority - a classic "big sound" tube. These have short gray plates with halo getter, and are labeled for CEI (Calvert Electronics Inc USA). The tubes come screened for low noise and microphonics.

Koray’s description is right on the dot. This is a very fine tube, with no weak spots to put your finger on. Nice, organic sound, with great authority and bass, great presence and dynamics, and a smooth and detailed top with just a bit of sparkle. For the money, it’s a no-brainer.
