MULLARD ECC82 – BVA – 1953 – BLACK PLATE 17 – WELDED PLATE – SQUARE GETTER

An exceptionally rare pair of genuine British-made Mullard ECC82 tubes, dating from 1953.

This is a particularly desirable early Mullard construction, featuring the distinctive Black Plate 17, welded plate construction and highly sought-after Square Getter.

Both tubes are in remarkable original condition and come complete with their original boxes.

Finding this particular version today is extremely difficult. Finding a perfectly matched pair in such condition, with original boxes, is even more exceptional.

TEST RESULTS

SOUND CHARACTER

This is a truly outstanding Mullard ECC82, offering the kind of musical presentation that makes early British Mullard tubes so highly appreciated by experienced audiophiles.

The sound is exceptionally smooth, quiet, refined and precise, with a beautifully natural tonal balance.

The midrange is rich and expressive, while the upper frequencies are wonderfully extended, airy and sparkling, with excellent clarity and delicacy.

There is a lovely sense of openness, detail and musical refinement throughout the entire frequency range.

It combines smoothness with precision, delivering a highly engaging presentation without harshness or listening fatigue.

An excellent performer across virtually all music genres.

A RARE COLLECTOR’S PIECE

This is not an ordinary ECC82.

Early Mullard ECC82 versions with this particular construction are now extremely scarce. They are highly sought after by serious audiophiles and vintage tube collectors around the world.

Original examples are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and pairs in this condition are approaching the point of being almost impossible to source.

A perfectly matched pair, exceptionally strong test results, original boxes and such a desirable early construction make this a genuinely special find.

For serious collectors and listeners who appreciate the finest vintage Mullard tubes, this is a pair worth every penny.

Some vintage tubes are simply difficult to replace. This is one of them.
