Perfect matched pair of vintage Mullard 6DJ8(ECC88) audio tubes - Made in Gt. Britain - 1963/64 - Very Rare Tube Summary No other tubes can deliver vocals like the Blackburn Mullard tubes, from ECC88 to E88CC to E188CC every variant of these can make your audio system sing like an angel, and thats a fact. These ECC88s are extremely hard to find today and are becoming the darling of every serious audiophile. Sound Characteristics The overall tonality of Mullard ECC88 tubes is warm and lively with a very spacious sound stage. Like a warm British jacket of the finest tweed, these glorious tubes have an attractive sweet warmth in their midrange and lower regions. This is how the experts on audiotubes.com describe the sound signature of British-made Mullard tubes. The top end is silky and pleasant and doesnt get rolled off. They retain a fine sense of air at the top, and the upper midrange is smooth and liquid. These tubes reproduce the human voice, especially female voices, with haunting realism. The Mitcham Mullard tubes are also known to have an attractive sparkle at the top with rich bass...now we know where that warm British jacket comes from! Professional Tube Testing Both tubes tested Strong NOS (110%+ nominal mutual conductance) on a Mercury 2000 tube tester with the following result (mutual conductance measurements both in uMhos and in percentage of nominal): Tube 1: 14,000/13,600 (112%/109%)Tube 2: 14,000/13,800 (112%/110%) Good tubes start at 7000 and new tubes (incl. NOS/NIB) 12,500 - 13,000, and the Mercury 2000s rated mutual conductance (nominal) for new tubes is 12,500. Test result can also be seen in the pictures. In case you wonder what all these numbers mean to your sound experience, its actually quite straightforward: mutual conductance directly translates to a tubes ability to amplify sound, so the higher the numbers the stronger. Appearance & cosmetic condition Although one of the tubes (the IEC labeled one) has nearly half of the paint and lettering due to storage, the other tube is in excellent cosmetic condition, and the Blackburn date codes are perfectly visible on both tubes: B3C1 (B = Blackburn, 3 = 1963, C = March, 1 = 1th week of the month)B4L2 (B = Blackburn, 4 = 1964, L = December, 2 = 2rd week of the month) Shipping Policy - Ship worldwide!

Return Policy - Please READ carefully First of all, returns are acceptable as long as you are reasonable. Soundlumia sets extremely high quality standard for the products we deliver. Tubes we sell are guaranteed to work because we run professional tests and sound evaluation before they are approved for listing AND before we ship them to customers. So the defective item case doesnt exist and please do not bother trying - this type of returns will NOT be accepted without proof that tubes do not work and we will open a dispute with eBay. Sound experience is a very subjective thing, and lets be real its not that easy to run into compatibility issues between amps and tubes (so that one wont fly, either.) Please contact us to work things out before submitting return requests claiming item is defective or item not as described. We would really appreciate your respect to the professional work we have done (sourcing, testing & matching tubes, evaluating tube sound, sharing our sound experience with you, packing and shipping) to make these wonderful vintage tubes available to you at reasonable prices. Secondly, if you are a tube roller looking to game the return system, Number One STOP. We have seen it all and we know what youre up to. No tricks here please. Abusive behaviors will be reported to eBay immediately and negative feedback will be left to your account - thats guaranteed. We have already reported several abusers and eBay has ruled in our favor the dispute cases. We are more determined than ever to continue working with eBay to help rid of these unprofessional, unjustified, unkind, unfair and unacceptable abuses that are detrimental to the eBay marketplace, the vintage tubes market and the audiophile community.
