Hello,Up for sale is a pair of Mullard CV2493/Ecc88 ,these tubes are NOS Military long life gold pin tubeI m no longer used 6922 tube preamp,postage is available
This listing sits well above the recent comparable market: at A$320, it is far past the A$293 75th percentile and roughly 3× the A$106 median, so I’d call it ambitious rather than fair value. For a common small-signal valve/tube type, that only makes sense if these are truly premium-tested, strongly matched, or unusually scarce examples; otherwise the asking price looks rich.
The upside is that Mullard-branded CV2493/ECC88-family pieces are respected for their musical, low-noise presentation and still attract collectors and tube-rollers, so a clean, genuine pair can justify a premium if provenance is solid. Because the price is already elevated, I’d want clear test results, matching codes, and confirmation of remaining life before treating it as a buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Captain Stanley R. Mullard founded the Mullard Radio Valve Company in 1920 in the United Kingdom, initially to produce high-power transmitting valves for the British Admiralty. Drawing from his engineering background and passion for music, he expanded into audio components, creating vacuum tubes renowned for their reliability and superior sound quality. Acquired by Philips in the 1920s, the brand grew into a dominant force in valves and semiconductors, with production spanning facilities in Mitcham and Southampton.
Mullard focused primarily on vacuum tubes—or "valves"—that powered high-fidelity amplifiers and professional recording equipment, alongside early transistors and audio drivers. Historical products like the 1960s Mullard 510 valve amplifier exemplified their expertise in hi-fi amplification, while their hand-assembled valves became staples in studio and home systems. Though not a modern maker of speakers, turntables, DACs, or headphones, their components influenced entire audio chains.
Today, Mullard holds a revered position as a vintage high-end icon among audiophiles and collectors, celebrated for the "Mullard sound"—warm, detailed, and musical. Reissues and NOS tubes command premium prices in the boutique market, cementing its legacy over a century of craftsmanship amid technological shifts.
