Watford Valves has cryogenically treated some of the more popular and best sounding Mullard valves. This process makes a permanent change and the benefits do not deteriorate over time or upon return to operating temperature, it changes the whole way the vacuum tube performs. The biggest benefits I have found has been a dramatic improvement in dynamic range. Bass response has been clearer with reduction in microphonics. The soundstage is bigger with more detail with a big reduction in the noise floor. The really most starling fact has been how the valve operates under saturated and overdriven conditions in guitar amplifiers. The distortion is smoother with less hardness and is musically pleasing to the ear.
Special Cryo Treated VersionVery special Cryo treated Mullard 8254 EC1000 for Neumann microphones. We have Cryo Treated a small batch of these valves as we have been informed that the cryo versions gives improved focus and greater clarity over the standard item and is superb on vocals
EC1000/8254 Mullard is the best premium quality triode for use in the older Neumann M149 microphone that used an 8254
This is a special quality triode that was made with very strict quality control and high grade materials for Nato contracts. The Mullard was made in Holland at the Philips Heerlen factory and are new in the original box with the original internal wrapping.
The valves are marked with the factory code only as was common with Nato valves that Mullard Supplied from Holland.
Neumann used this in M149 and later used the 6111WA as to the scarcity of this valve. So please check the actual valve in your microphone.
This is the last chance of getting these items cryo Treated as we are unlikely to get any more stock. Brand new in the original packing and original Mullard box.
