Vacuum Tubes

The 3A5 is intended for use in high frequency applications. The relatively large filament employed in the 3A5 enables it to supply the high peak currents required in RF power applications.

General purpose triode designed for service as an oscillator, detector, or amplifier. It is similar in characteristics to the 6C6, 6J7, and 57 with triode connection.

The Svetlana 12AX7 is a premium 12AX7 tube from Russia. Known for their smooth drive and clarity, these tubes are praised by both guitar players and HiFi users alike. The Svetlana 12AX7 is compatible in any 12AX7 or ECC83 position. “Svetlana tubes are quite simply the absolute best. We design and manufacture our tubes, engineered for demanding high fidelity, reliability and overall warmth. Be sure to insist on genuine Svetlana vacuum tubes the next time you retube -- you'll be getting the absolute best possible tubes for any demanding application.” -Svetlana

Triode using the miniature construction. Its low capacitance and high ratio of plate current to transconductance allow use as a high frequency oscillator and mixer at frequencies below ~300 mc or as grounded grid radio frequency amplifier.

Heater-cathode type high-mu triode designed for service as a high gain audio-frequency amplifier and is especially useful in resistance-coupled amplifier circuits in a-c or battery operated equipment

High-mu triode and sharp-cutoff pentode in the 9 pin miniature construction. It is intended for use in color and black-and-white television receivers.

Electro-Harmonix KT88 Vacuum Tube High power kinkless-tetrode for use in amplifiers such as the Marshall Major. This tube is a favorite of audiophiles. Can be used in place of 6550 for a more "round" bass signature.

Beam power pentode intended for service as an audio power amplifier.

The Psvane KT88 is a high quality, high power, beam tetrode with an octal base. The KT88C is notable for its warmth and clarity across the entire audio spectrum. The Psvane Classic Series is focused on the reproduction of popular vacuum tubes found in classic audio equipment. When designing the Classic Series, Psvane collected the most sought-after NOS tubes and analyzed each element of their construction, incorporating the most effective manufacturing techniques to produce stable tubes with excellent sound. Whether used in guitar amplifiers or hifi stereo systems, the Psvane Classic Series vacuum tubes excel in all applications. Psvane has been producing high quality vacuum tubes since 2011. The Psvane team originally formed in Shuguang’s high-end tube division but eventually split off to form their own brand. Psvane has since acquired their own manufacturing facilities with the goal of improving the production and performance of vacuum tubes.

Heater-cathode type beam tube of miniature construction designed primarily to form the combined operations of the limiter, discriminator, and audio-voltage amplifier in FM and intercarrier television receivers.

Heater-cathode type beam power amplifier tube designed for service in the output stage of a-c or battery-operated equipment.

The 12AT7 is a miniature, high-mu, twin triode designed for use as a grounded-grid radio-frequency amplifier or as a combined oscillator and mixer at frequencies below approximately 300 megacycles.

General purpose triode designed for service as an oscillator, detector, or amplifier. It is recommended for use where economy of heater current is important.

Miniature, medium-mu triode intended primarily for use as a vertical-deflection amplifier in television receivers. The tube features high plate current at low plate voltages

Sharp-cutoff pentode of the 9-pin miniature type intended for use as an audio amplifier in applications requiring reduced microphonics, leakage noise, and hum.

A new take on the classic 12AX7 preamp tube. While it uses the same rugged build and thick glass as other JJ preamp tubes, this tube differs in construction from the typical 12AX7 in that it features a medium-long plate, which provides a dynamic and open sound with a rich forward sounding mid range. This tube offers low noise and low microphonics.

Three-electrode general purpose tube of the heater-cathode type for use as an amplifier and detector in a-c receivers.

Full-wave rectifier of the heater-cathode type intended for use in AC operated and automobile receivers. Because of its heater-cathode construction it has the same heating time as that of other heater-cathode types in the receiver.

Rated for more power than the standard 7581 (35W plate dissipation vs 30W plate dissipation).

Full-wave high-vacuum rectifier for use in power supplies of moderate current requirements. The tube incorporates a unipotential cathode which is internally connected to the filament.

Consists of a triode oscillator and a hexode mixer in a common envelope. Reduces interaction between the oscillator and mixer sections and makes for stable operation in superheterodyne receivers on the high frequencies as well as the broadcast band.

Pentode amplifier designed for application in power output stages of receivers

The JJ Electronic ECC99 is a noval based dual triode. This tube features a rugged construction and is also available with gold pins. The ECC99 is typically used as a driver for power triodes in 2A3 and 300B amplifiers but can also be used as a power tube in small amps and headphone amps. This tube can also be a functional replacement for 5687, E182CC, 6840, and 6BL7 tubes. Note: Sockets on some of these types could have a different set-up.

A single-ended RF pentode having sharp cut-off characteristics. It is designed for use as a general purpose amplifier, biased detector, radio frequency oscillator or as a mixer tube in properly designed circuits.
