Seller's Description

Testar GOOD! provspelade låter mycket bra! Detta rörpar är nu helt identifierat: Rör 1 (B1H4): Blackburn, England – 4:e veckan i augusti 1961. Rör 2 (Gf1 B0J): Blackburn, England – oktober 1960. Detta innebär att det är två rör från Mullards absoluta guldålder (tidigt 1960-tal). De är tillverkade med bara ett års mellanrum i samma fabrik. De delar därför samma interna konstruktion, material och det eftertraktade, varma "Mullard-ljudet". De kommer att fungera utmärkt tillsamma

Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Condition is unknown, so this one only looks fair if it’s a genuinely strong, tested vintage example; at kr 1,260 SEK it is above the broad used market for ordinary Mullard ECC82/12AU7 tubes, but still within reach for better-picked vintage stock. Typical used pricing runs from roughly kr 560–kr 1,700 SEK for common tested pieces, while cleaner, rarer Blackburn-era examples can climb well higher, so this is not automatically expensive.

The appeal of this tube is the usual Mullard thing: a rich, relaxed midrange, good tone density, and a presentation many listeners still prefer in line-level stages. If it’s an original, tested, low-noise tube with decent life left, that makes the ask easier to live with. The key buyer check is simple: confirm test results, noise/microphonics, and whether it’s a true vintage Mullard rather than a later reissue or relabel.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Mullard

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.
