Tungsram / EL84-TUNGSRAM
All prices contained on this page are exclusive of VAT. This is currently charged at 20% and is payable by the UK only.
These valves have the grey Tungsram rounded anode with the two rounded holes in the centre of anode plate and the slated hole at the top and bottom of the anode plate.
These are covered by the silver black flashing which was part of the Tungsram factory manufacturing process. They all have the Tungsram two digit code on a chrome plate located at the bottom of the getter support.
No other valve looks or sounds like the Tungsram and in the event of not finding Mullard or Telefunken valve the Tungsram valve I would take this valve every time.
The American Publication Vacuum Tube Valley reviewed a huge range of EL84 and said the following.
The Tungsram EL84 has lots of air and was 3 dimensional sounding with lots of punch and great tonal balance, growling and vicious sounding bottle, harmonically rich with a nice hard-rock sound.
In their opinion it beat the Mullard in guitar amp application finishing behind the Amperex Bugle boy and tied with Mullard in the Hi fi tests again finishing behind the Amperex.
This is one of the best sounding EL84 money can buy and make no mistake this will upgrade you audio and guitar amplifier and bring a smile to your face.
We have a very limited stock of these all which have been tested and matched into pairs and quads
