12AU7 NOS, amazing quality, made by Toshiba in Japan.
Very low noise and super low distortion, smooth, seriously underrated, best bang for the buck when looking for 12AU7 or ECC82. 17mm long ribbed plates, halo getter.
Replaces also 5814, 6189, CV4003, E82CC, ECC802, M8136
What others say:
Definitely beats all current production and NOS US made gray plates.
The tube has very smooth and natural sound. Nice weight to music presentation, which is leaning towards Mullards, but at the same time exhibits gentleness and sweetness in mids that Amperex creates. Has a very unique tone to it. Overall a great tube.
