Ein seltenes Vintage-Exemplar der Audio-Verstärkerröhre EL34 mit Miniwatt -Branding, jedoch gefertigt von Mullard Blackburn (Code: Xf2 B1E4). Es handelt sich um unbenutzten Altbestand (NOS) mit einigen Spuren langer Lagerung – ohne Originalverpackung.
Neu, unbenutzt
At €730, this sits well above your used-market anchor of €70 median and even the €176 75th percentile, so it reads as ambitious rather than fair on price alone. Against that benchmark, I’d only consider it if the listing is unusually strong on verification, matching pairs, or documented provenance, because the number is far beyond what recent comparable EUR listings are asking.
That said, this is a sought-after tube variant for good reason: the Blackburn-made XF2 family has a strong reputation for lively midrange, open treble, and the kind of tone that keeps tube fans hunting for good originals. If it truly is NOS with clean testing and untouched packaging, the upside is in rarity and longevity rather than bargain value; just make sure the seller can substantiate authenticity, date codes, and low-noise performance before paying a premium.
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.
