Perfect matched & balanced pair of vintage Amperex 6DJ8 (ECC88) PQ audio tubes - Made in Holland 1962 - Dimple Disc Getter - Strong NOS - Very Rare Tube Summary Enjoy the most musical 6DJ8/ECC88 tube on Earth - Amperex 6DJ8 PQ (Premium Quality) made in Holland from the early 1960s! PQ tubes are among the greatest Amperex tubes ever made and are highly sought after by serious audiophiles. These prestige tubes were made with special filament technique to produce special quietness in sound - something one can only find on Philips SQ (Special Quality) or high-end German E88CC tubes. Sound Characteristics As a major step-up of the famed early production of Amperex Holland tubes with steel pins (Bungle Boys, Orange Globe etc.), these tubes combine the best of both worlds: the large sound stage, transparent midrange and liquid & harmonic sound from the Bugle Boy & Orange Globe, and the laser precision imaging and superb smoothness in the top end from the PQ series. We have recommended PQ tubes to so many satisfied customers who use them in their phono setup that we have given them a nick name sound purifier - the sound that comes from these tubes has absolutely no edginess, glassiness or harshness, and you hear nothing but the soul of your music and all of it. These are the best tubes to to put in the phono stage to purify your sound. Appearance & Cosmetic condition This pair is so rare because nearly 100% of the paint is intact on both tubes, and Heerlen date codes etched on glass are perfectly visible: delta 2F1 (delta = Heerlen, Holland, 2 = 1962, F = June, 1 = 1st week of the month) delta 2J2 (delta = Heerlen, Holland, 2 = 1962, J = October, 2 = 2nd week of the month) Professional Sound Evaluation The pair worked wonderfully and sounded terrific in our professional studio setup for monitoring. - Input: Cambridge Audio CXC V2 dedicated CD transport + Schiit Audio Bifrost 2 Multibit DAC - Amplification: Liquid Platinum Tube Amplifier by Alex Cavalli - Output: Clear Focal MG Pro open-back headphones Our full tube sound review was written 100% based on the actual listening experience while this pair of tubes were running in the system described above. Professional Tube Testing Both tubes tested Strong NOS (110%+ nominal mutual conductance) on a Mercury 2000 tube tester with the following result (mutual conductance in uMhos): Tube 1: 13,800/13,800 Tube 2: 13,200/13,900 Good tubes start around 7000 and new tubes (incl. NOS/NIB) 12,500 - 13,000, and 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 would 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.

Perfect matched & balanced pair of 1958/1959 vintage Amperex 6922 PQ audio tubes w/ D-getter and gold pins - Made in Holland - Strong NOS - Super Rare Tube Summary Our best seller is back in stock - the Amperex 6922 PQ (Premium Quality) tubes! And this time the Holland version with the super rare D-getter. We have recommended PQs to more than 15 wonderful patrons of the Soundlumia, who are enjoying these tubes in their class leading amplifiers from Audio Research, Ear, Schiit Audio and Cavalli etc. and are raving about the superb PQ sound around the world. Sound Qualities Made in the Heerlen factory, these PQs are as sweet and smooth as any other the Amperex Holland 6922 tubes, with better detail and very spacious sound stage, which offers an amazing birds eye view of the shape of your sound, so you know exactly how tall and wide the sound stage is. The tone is warm yet lively, the midrange is transparent and expansive, although less forward than what you hear on their cousins from the Amperex New York factory. Bass is accurate and articulate but not too heavy, and the top end gets beautifully extended with a fine sense of airiness We have recommended them to so many satisfied customers that we have given them a nick name sound purifier - the sound that comes from PQ tubes (both USA and Holland) has absolutely no edginess, glassiness or harshness, and you hear nothing but the soul of your music and all of it. They are the best tubes to to put in the phono stage to purify your sound in my opinion. As to vocals, I have no further comment than that the best Mullards were actually sourced from Holland PQs (Made in Gt. Britain w/ Heerlen date codes) and we all know what Mullard is best known for. And what differences does the D-getter make on these? PQ sound further purified: cleaner and smoother with taller imaging. Appearance & cosmetic condition This pair is extra rare because nearly 90% of the inscription (Amperex & Made in Holland lettering, PQ logo and Premium Quality lettering) is intact and perfectly visible, and the Heerlen date codes etched on glass are also clear and intact: 7L4 delta 8C (7L4 = Change code, delta = Amperex Heerlen, 8 = 1958, C = March)7L4 delta 9K (7L4 = Change code, delta = Amperex Heerlen, 9 = 1959, K = November) Professional testing & sound evaluation Both tubes tested NOS (100% mutual conductance) on a Mercury 2000 tube tester with the following result (mutual conductance in uMhos): Tube 1 (left): 12,700/12,500 Tube 2 (right): 12,500/12,400 Good tubes start at 7,000 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 better. The pair worked wonderfully & sounded terrific in our test amp (Liquid Platinum by Alex Cavalli.) during professional sound evaluation.

Perfect matched & balanced pair of vintage Amperex JAN 7308 audio tubes w/ Gold Pins - Made in USA (1966) - Strong NOS - Very Rare Tube Overview Built and tested according to military specs of the Joint Army Navy (JAN), Amperex JAN 7308 has been one of the most reliable 7308/E188CC tubes known to the world: its quality is more than premium, although it doesnt carry the aweing PQ label like its more expensive siblings do; its performance is superb and in fact very few tubes in this price range can claim to be stronger; its low noise should only by judged by the most experienced sound experts because we are talking about the very tube built for and certified by the US military for mission-critical communication devices; its sound signature is phenomenal (I dont use this word very often to describe tube sound) and many audiophiles consider the Holy Grail (75 Reflektor 6N23P) its only possible upgrade path. Sound Qualities The clarity and sound detail on JAN 7308s are second to none. These tubes deliver the same resolution and grip you get from the best German and Dutch tubes from the same league(7308/E188CC.) These tubes have a clean, incisive presentation, but are also euphonic and musical. Like the HGs they put all the differing and competing attributes together in one excellent package. As a result, theres no one area they are weak in so you can use them for most listening occasions - music, monitoring or movie watching. The sound stage is not only wide but also deep so every listening experience feels like at a live concert. The instrument separation is not done as beautifully anywhere else, as one would expect from tubes this quiet. The top end is smooth and airy and theres absolutely no brightness or harshness. The midrange presentation is very similar to the Amperex Holland 7308/E188CC tubes - large, expansive and transparent - with added thickness in the upper midrange, which makes your sound warm and intimate, especially on the vocals. The bass delivery is world-class, as one should expect from a JAN tube at this level of the game: accurate, full-bodied, dynamic and always present. Appearance & cosmetic condition This pair is so rare because about 95% of the inscription (Amperex brand, Made in USA print and PQ logo) is intact and perfectly visible, which is amazing given the age of these tubes. The two tubes have the exactly same control code VR5 and date codes very close to each other: *6H (* = Amperex New York, 6 = 1966, H = August) , *6K (* = Amperex New York, 6 = 1966, K = November) meaning they were manufactured with only four months apart although in two different years. Professional testing & sound evaluation Both tubes tested Strong NOS (100% - 120% GM) on a Mercury 2000 tube tester with the following result (mutual conductance in uMhos): Tube 1: 13,700/13,200 Tube 2: 14,800/14,200 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 better.
