1963Mullard for Electrohome12AX7 / ECC83 / I611 Single Tube STRONG | BALANCED | BLACKBURN FORGED | ELECTROHOME BRANDED 1963 marks the year that the Porsche 911 was introduced to the world. Coincidence that this tube was brought into the world that very same same year? Nope. It’s been said that the Mullard sound can be most likened to a warm British jacket of the finest tweed. I can’t say I know what that means exactly, but I do like the way it sounds. And I like how Mullard tubes sound, too. There’s logic hiding in there somewhere. Enticingly intimate and warm, almost sweetly so, it’s always a close, handsy dance when listening to a Mullard. You’re right there, and tonight it’s a for-your-ears-only private concert. The top end is silky, airy, never rolling off. The soundstage is big, open and warm like an overdue hug that brings you in for the squeeze and never lets go. The mid range is full, clean, and mesmerizingly human at times.The low end is weighty, not too fast, not precise but not messy or dishonest either. Smooth, rich, musical, they just flow. The best word I know to describe them is mellifluous. Tube guru Brent Jesse once used a few more words, writing that “These tubes reproduce the human voice, especially female voices, with haunting realism.” Well, anyone that’s heard them sing knows that. Did I mention I need to pay some parking tickets? I do. Tube 1 (B3B4)Test Results (32=Good 48=New): 46/32 & 42/32 = Very StrongGetter: Halo, Plates: 14mm, Series: I61 Factory: Blackburn, Born: 1969, Code (B3B4)Special Power: n/a Long vs. Short Plates: 12AX7’s generally come in two sizes, Short/14mm or Long/17mm. And it’s important to understand their differences, because they are different. Most importantly, they sound different. A difference that can be summed up in three words: Lively, 3D, and Open.Long plates came along first, way back in 1949. The lived primarily through the 50’s until in the late 50’s/early 60’s the short plate was invented as a way to combat what they saw at the time as shortcomings in the long plate, primarily length of life and a proneness to becoming microphonic. The short plates did just that, they lived longer and were more stabler, but are generally believed to not sound as detailed, musical or have as large of a soundstage as their older, longer-haired cousins. Black vs. Grey Plates: This distinction is most relevant to American made tubes. First generation 12AX7s were all black plates and are highly prized (and thus expensive) for their fantastically sweet sound. A sound created by a tube that emphasizes, by design, even order harmonics over fundamental tone. In general, black plates have a warmer, more complex, more harmonic and fuller sound than their grey-haired counter parts.—————————Terms & Conditions 30 DAY ‘NO QUESTIONS ASKED’ RETURN POLICYThink of it as a 30 day audition. Buy with confidence. Because you can. I want you to love your new tubes. Don’t like the sound? Return ‘em. Label the wrong color? Return ‘em. Found something better? Return ‘em. Spent your money for parking tickets on tubes? Return’ em. Your tester is different than my tester? Return ‘em. Don’t settle, don’t compromise, don’t be shy. But listen up, here’s the dilly: You can return it for any reason, but you’re on the hook for shipping unless it’s my fault. And by my fault I mean the tube is damaged, incorrectly shipped (e.g., you get the wrong tube), or straight up DOA. Otherwise, it’s on you. It’s less than ten bucks flat rate priority to anywhere in the CONUS with USPS, so don’t go hawking Granny’s pearls just yet. Categorically, any derivation of ‘My tester doesn’t match your tester’ falls into the you can return the tube but you pay return shipping category. On the off-chance something isn’t right, please contact me first and give me the opportunity to make it right. Stay calm. I will. For the record, I’ve never, not ever had anyone ask to return anything. SHIPPINGTL/DR: Buyer pays shipping. You’re on the hook for shipping. I know, lucky you. But you have control; select from a number of different shipping options. Need it sooner? Just ask. Need combined shipping? Just ask. Want me to fudge some import/export numbers? Don’t even ask. Buyer pays return shipping, took, unless it’s my fault. And by my fault I mean the tube is damaged, incorrectly shipped (e.g., you get the wrong tube), or straight up DOA. Otherwise, it’s on you. It’s less than ten bucks flat rate priority to anywhere in the CONUS with USPS, so don’t go hawking Granny’s pearls just yet. Categorically, any derivation of ‘My tester doesn’t match your tester’ falls into the you can return the tube but you pay return shipping category. I will ship internationally at my sole, completely subjective discretion. Please ask first. In case that’s unclear, first means before buying or bidding if you are not in the continental United States. And if you ask, even once, even cryptically, cleverly or outrightly or any other way for me to fudge numbers you’re not only permanently shit listed, I’ll pay a bona fide Voodoo witch doctor to make you itch in places you don’t want to itch for six months. And I’m saying summer months. ABOUT MEEx-ad writer turned tube monger. That’s right, I park for shit. That’s the important bit. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I’m selling tubes. Parking tickets. Like, a lot of parking tickets. You know how color blind people can’t see color? I’m sign blind. Line blind, too. To me, the world is just one big empty parking space. That’s the curse of it, I was born free range, all nature and no nurture. I can’t help it. One minute I’m minding my own business trying to mail some tubes, next thing you know my Jekyll comes out and I’m hot wheeling may way up the curb. Sidewalk, sometimes. I’ll stop it, drop it and won’t even lock it. Fire hydrants? Hosed daily, fire zones are my freak. Block you into your own garage? Oh, hell yeah. That spot may have your name on it, but whose car is that? Adverse possession is the name of my game. Loading zones? Load of bullshit. Electric cars only? No lightning for your ride today. Asshhole idling right outside your window? You know who. Bike lane? Obstacle course. Peddle your hypocrisy somewhere else, Spandy. Don’t see too many folks wearing tights in traffic court. Which is both unfair and disappointing. And I’m there daily. I’ve begun to think I’ve taken things too far, though. Recently, I started parking in the police lot to attend to my business in traffic court. I mean, it’s right there. And I’m figuring they’d see my wheels and appreciate that I’m trying to do right. But that’s not how they see it. Like at all. Embarrassed, my lawyer quit. But he’s the kind of milquetoast idiot that pays for parking and still uses LOL and a YAHOO! email address with a straight face. Some people. Doc says if I want to get better I need to ask for help. And I want to get better, I really do. So help me get the help I need and stay on the right side of the law and buy some tubes already. I’m counting on you. PS: I need a new JD ASAP. Any of you lawyer likes out there want burn some softball days in traffic court, HMU. PRICINGYou’re right, I ain’t the cheapest. Why? Because I stand behind every single tube I sell. Buying tubes is risky business, especially if you don’t do it every day. But I do. I weed out the bunk tubes, the off-balance tubes, the fake tubes, the microphonic tubes, the misrepresented tubes, the ’don’t challenge my tester’ tubes and all the rest of ‘em, too. But I’m also not infallible, which is why I have the generous return policy that I do. I take the risk and I take the hits so you don’t have to. Simply put, you get what you pay for. You’re paying for a great tube, peace of mind, and a premium customer experience. Read my reviews. I’m not perfect. But my reviews are — because if I make a mistake, I make it right. TESTINGI test, you test, we all test. I’ll keep this short and simple. I test all tubes at least three times; when they first come into my world, when I list them, and again right before shipping. I test them with a recently calibrated Hickcock TV-7 that I meticulously maintain. I test to the best of my ability and I report all results honestly. My results are my results. Your results are your results. The end. I do not guarantee nor expect that you will have the same results. Hopefully we’ll be close, but at some point our personal testers become a relative benchmark and we need to remember to use them as such. No matter, you can return a tube that doesn’t test well. No questions asked. Just pay return shipping and ensure the tube is in the same condition it was when it left. I photograph all tubes before shipping. If a tube is damaged, or the paint is missing or the label scratched off, or you abused it with a sharpie, etc., it’s at my sole discretion to decide what, if any, money is returned to you. Tread lightly, friend. Copyright © 2024 Chicken Or Egg, LLC
