JJ 12AX7 / ECC83S Balanced

2 tubes, matched as pair

Premium power beam tetrode continuing in the Tung-Sol legacy. The ultimate in musical tone and smooth overdrive, STR delivers the sound that established Tung-Sol as the benchmark of quality.
Faithful re-issue of the original Tung-Sol STR, built to the same “Special Tube Request” specs of amp manufacturers of the 60s.

Tube-Town 12AX7 / ECC83 Preamp-Tube

The TT12AX7 impresses with its fine and detailed reproduction of the highs, which is maintained even at high amplification levels. Due to a higher H3 part, the TT12AX7 sounds significantly cleaner than many other 12AX7/ECC83 tubes, which makes the bass range appear much tighter. We therefore especially recommend this tube for styles such as clean, crunch, and metal, where high amplification and clear transparency are required.

Application Notes

• Heater operation: The tube can be operated with 6.3V or 12.6V, depending on the circuit design.
• Grid resistors: It is recommended to use grid resistors of at least 1MΩ to ensure stable functionality.
• Coupling capacitors: Capacitors with low capacitance (typically 0.1µF) are recommended to minimize high-frequency interference.

• Made in Russia
• Long Plate

All JJ preamp tubes are selected within a close tolerance and handtested for best sound and quality. Furthermore all pins are gold plated to achieve best electrical contact.
What about the sound? It is still the famous and well known JJ brownsound - warm and smooth.

FAQ: If I order two or more of these tubes, are they all "the same"?
Yes, the tubes are all "matched" and selected for the in the description mentioned amplifiers.
FAQ: Can I replace the tubes myself or are adjustments needed?
Adjustments are not possible on the listed amplifier (unless a bias potentiometer has been added afterwards). The replacement can therefore be done without adjustments.
