This is a fair ask, slightly below the median but not low enough to be a true bargain. At kr1,400, it sits comfortably under the kr2,016 median and inside the lower half of the market, though it is still above the kr1,709 25th percentile, so I’d read it as sensible rather than standout-cheap.
A Mullard 12AU7 is a desirable small-signal tube because buyers value its reputation for smooth, musical presentation and strong consistency when matched and healthy. The upside here is mainly in getting a respected vintage tube without paying top-of-market money, but with no condition details, the key check is whether it tests strong, is quiet, and has any signs of wear or microphonics.
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.
