<STRONG><H1><CENTER>12AU7 TUBES CURRENTLY IN STOCK</CENTER></H1></STRONG><BR><HR>
<P><H3>This page lists all of the 12AU7 tubes I currently have in stock, including all industrial and European versions. These are extremely high demand vintage tubes, so I have these listed on their own page, as my stock changes rapidly. If you need a quantity of these tubes, or have specific needs such as matching, special construction, etc., <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]">please e-mail me.</A>

<P>The 12AU7 is a medium-mu twin triode miniature glass tube. In most circuits it is used as a class A amplifier per triode section. This tube has been, and still is, widely used in the preamplifier stages of high fidelity audio equipment, musical instrument amps, public address
equipment, and broadcast equipment. It was used in so many different types of equipment that the vintage versions of this tube are still
available without too much searching. Like their cousin, the 12AX7, the premium USA and West European brands are being hunted to
extinction, but there are still bargains to be had in other vintage USA brands. Here is the list of what is available in the 12AU7 family:
<P><STRONG><U>12AU7 / 12AU7A:</U></STRONG> The common USA version of this tube. The 12AU7 can only be used in parallel
filament circuits. Like the 12AX7, this is not a hassle since virtually all hi-fi tube amps are of the parallel filament design. RCA, GE, and Sylvania actually made most of these tubes, regardless of brand on the label. The early RCA version has ribbed flat black plates with a
top getter and a white label. Still available, and still a bargain since everyone wants the "cleartops": 1960s versions have greyplates and the getter on the side, making the top clear. These "cleartops" are currently the hottest selling 12AU7, and are still a great buy at current prices. Watch this tube....I predict in 5 years it will be as hard to find as the Telefunken smoothplate, and just as expensive! The 1970s version of the RCA 12AU7 has greyplates and a top getter. This greyplate RCA is about the best bargain you can get in a vintage RCA 12AU7. The GE versions pretty much always used greyplates and a top getter for this tube. The numbers are etched into the glass with a pattern of dots
below the number. All of these vintage tubes used a chalky label paint, and often the tube label is smeared or partially rubbed off. This does not indicate use or poor quality. Rather, it is an indication of a genuine vintage tube, and all of these are excellent quality.
<P><STRONG><U>ECC82:</U></STRONG> This is the European version of the 12AU7, and is identical to it. The brands in demand are
Telefunken, Amperex, and Mullard. Telefunken tubes have a diamond shape molded into the bottom of the glass. Both ribbed plate and the more famous smoothplate types are available, just like the 12AX7, but are being hunted down and soon may be an endangered species. Amperex and Mullard have tiny date codes etched in the glass near the bottom of the tube. The most popular Amperex are the Holland made Bugle Boy series,
with the tiny cartoon tube blowing a bugle on the label. They later went to just a white label that said "Amperex", and then after that used
the orange label with the world logo. The earlier Mullard tubes had the word "Mullard" inside of a shield logo, later versions said "IEC Mullard". These are all tubes of unequalled quality, and are worth the high prices they are commanding these days. Even used ones
will blow away any of the trashy tubes in production today. Vintage versions again used the chalky paint, and frequently the labels on any of these tubes are usually smeared.
<P><STRONG><U>5814:</U></STRONG> This is a military spec tube. Sometimes the vintage GE versions may be labelled JG-12AU7WA in white and have 5814 etched into the glass. These are all low microphonic thanks to their rigid mica supports. Older versions have a third mica spacer near the top. These "triple mica" versions are in great demand today. The broadcast versions of this tube are the GE 5-star, and the RCA Command series. These vintage tubes have just started to become a hot item, as NOS stocks of the West Europe types become harder to find. These tubes can withstand many on-off cycles and mechanical shock without a problem.
<P><STRONG><U>6189:</U></STRONG> This can be both a military spec tube and a premium industrial tube. Often, the military versions will be marked 12AU7WA in addition to having 6189 etched in the glass. The older vintage of these tubes are usually blackplate with the extra "triple mica" spacer at the top. GE made this in their 5-star line for broadcast. The RCA military 6189 is gold lettered 12AU7WA, has blackplates, and extra support rods. These are excellent step up tubes in the 12AU7 family, when you can find them!
<P><STRONG><U>5963:</U></STRONG> This is a nice industrial type which is nearly identical to the standard 12AU7. RCA made a nice blackplate version of this tube, and GE has it in their 5-star broadcast line. The plate voltage rating is a little lower than for a 12AU7, but for most applications, it will work fine. It has a rugged cathode and should be long lived, similar to the 5814. Watch this tube, as it is plentiful now and prices are low. As audiophiles discover it, the rush will be on!
<P><STRONG><U>6680:</U></STRONG> Motorola and GE are the brands you find most often with this tube, but RCA made a nice cleartop version for a very short time. It is identical to the 12AU7, but has the added benefit of being able to withstand variations in filament voltage without affecting it's output. This tube was designed originally for two-way mobile radio use. It makes a fine hi-fi 12AU7 tube as well. Never as plentiful as other types, this tube is rather scarce today.
<P><STRONG><U>ECC802:</U></STRONG> This is a premium version of the European ECC82, with matched triode sections. These are very rare in the USA, and often command very high prices.
<P><STRONG><U>B749:</U></STRONG>This is made by Genalex (Marconi-Osram Valve Co. of England) and is extremely rare in the USA. The B749 is in the "Gold Lion" series of audiophile tubes, and has the gold lion and gold script on the glass. Inside it looks similar to a Mullard 12AU7, and has a red Genalex decal across the bottom. These are said to sound the best of all 12AU7 types, and this reputation, coupled with it's overall scarcity, has driven the market price of this prize tube to extreme heights. Worth seeking out as these may be the first out-of-production classic European tube to go totally extinct over the next dozen years or so.
