PRICE ON APPLICATION

potential audio type

This denotes types where an audio amplifier has been successfully built by our consultants or others. These ‘potential audio types’ are better value for money compared with the more "well-known" and "obvious" audio valves [such as ECC83, 400B, EL34, KT88 etc.] The advantage to you of these types is that for lower cost you get a UK/USA made item considered by many to be preferable to Chinese/Russian. UK/USA. valves are often very expensive and very limited in quantity. Use potential audio types to overcome these difficulties.

RED/BLUE

COLOURFUL boxes. Brimar, GEC blue, Mullard red, Telefunken blue, boxes
