Bonnes lampes à plaques courtes (9mm), au gain modéré et équilibré. Utilisées sur un préampli / ampli casque Doge 6210 MK2 en entrée vers un Senheiser HD650 ou ampli de puissance Linn et enceintes triangle. Image sonore assez douce, aigus modérés, graves ronds sans être coulants. Ces tubes sont bien au dessus des 12AX7B chinois, en Hifi en tout cas. Version balanced obligatoire en hifi, merci Tubetown je n'ai pas trouvé de meilleur prix et prestations en France, livraison rapide de surcroit!

Très bonnes lampes de préamp, essayées sur un Marshall JTM30 en V2 et V3, avec en V1 une 12AX7 TT (V1). Idéal pour un son clean, on retrouve le son des lampes d'origine (ECC83). Je recommande Tube Town aux clients Français, car ils ont le mérite de proposer de très bons prix, un service de qualité, un bon délai (commande reçue 5 jours aprrès l'avoir passée, colis très bien emballé et plutôt bien traité). Les frais de port sont corrects si on passe une commande groupée, mais vu les prix des lampes en France ils sont vite amortis. Il manque juste des specs plus détaillées sur certaines vieilles lampes pour connaître la puissance ou la tension max, mais on les retrouve facilement sur le net. Autre point positif, ils mettent à disposition des guides de choix de lampes lampes en fonction du son recherché, et un très bon guide sur le réglage du bias (en anglais). des lampes d'origine (ECC83).

Bias-Probe Octal, KIT

Kit of a bias probe for indirect measurement of the quiescent bias current of a tube. The adapter is placed between the tube and the socket and is connected to a standard voltmeter (not included). Pay attention to the quality of the meter and to sufficiently charged batteries!

The quiescent current is measured indirectly via a precision resistor built into the adapter. The advantages of this measuring method are harmless voltages in the mV range at the measuring plugs as well as short ways for the current, since it does not have to be led through the measuring device (common practice with many measuring adapters of Far Eastern production). As a result, there is no risk of oscillation of the amplifier, which could damage the tubes or the amplifier itself.

Note: This adapter cannot be used when additional tube brackets are installed. These must be removed before using the measurement adapter and reattached after the measurement is complete.

Measurement procedure
Determine the resistance of the adapter, including the test leads. Connect the adapter to the meter, but do not connect it between the tubes and the amplifier. Select the ohms range on the meter and note the reading, e.g. 1.1 ohms.
For the final measurement, insert the adapter between the tube and the de-energized amplifier, connect it to the meter, select the mV range and switch on the amplifier. When the amplifier has reached a stable operating condition, read the value in mV from the meter and calculate the quiescent current using Ohm's law.

Example
Measured voltage = 47 mV, adapter resistance = 1.1 ohms.
Formula (I = V / R) or in this case
Bias Current (in A) = Measured Value (Voltage in V) / Measured Value (Resistance in Ohm)
0.047V / 1.1 Ohm = 0.042A or 42mA

For the calculation of the correct bias current as well as further information on bias measurement please refer to further documents or the bias setting instructions in the info section as well as the manual of the amplifier itself.
This adapter is suitable for all EL34, 6L6, 6550, KT88, 6V6, 6CA7 and other tubes with the same pinout.

Attention HIGH VOLTAGE ! Measurements and work on tube amplifiers should only be done by qualified personnel.

Sovtek 12AX7 / ECC83 LPS

Very linear working 12AX7 / ECC83 with long anode plates and spiral heating, which makes the tube less sensitive to interference from AC heating.
We recommend this tube for audio and high-end amps as well as for "modern" Fender amps with more overdrive, but also as an input tube in old Marshall JCM800s.

Note: Tubes equipped with long plates are commonly associated with a "warmer" or "richer" sound, whereas those with shorter plates tend to deliver a "tighter sound". However, tubes featuring long plates exhibit increased sensitivity to vibrations and mechanical disturbances, rendering them less ideal for critical applications.
