TUBEMUSEUM NEW YORK


PRICE IS FOR THE BALANCED MATCHED PAIR!


It's VERY RARE to find MIRROR-MATCHED TRIODES in a pair of 12BH7A, usually the sides are not symmetrical so if MIRROR-MATCHED TRIODES appeal to you, then this pair is for YOU!


Bid one (1) for the matched pair!

BEAUTIFUL FULL DELICATE LETTERING

SUPERB NEW OLD STOCK

LONG-PLATES!



BUYER BEWARE ALERT!:

TubeMuseum Tubes are TESTED IN THE CORRECT "FIXED-BIAS"MODE, NOT IN "AUTOBIAS" WHICH MAKES ANY TUBE APPEAR STRONG!  If you see the words "AUTOBIAS" on their test label "STAY AWAY" it's not the TRUE mA measurements!  This test gives you a higher 'score' than the Fixed Bias test does, but that's because the tester is optimizing the operating conditions of the tube to achieve a good score., even if the mA emissions are LOW!

General Electric was incorporated in 1892, acquiring all the assets of the Edison General Electric Company and two other electrical companies. Edison General had been founded as the Edison Electric Light Company in 1878 by Thomas Alva Edison to market his incandescent lamp and other later products.

DESIRABLE STAPLED "LONG" GRAY-PLATES 

and DUAL ELECTROSTATIC SHIELDS

THE LONGEST PLATE EVER MADE!



  CERTIFIED ULTRA-LOW-NOISE SPECIMENS

TubeMuseum tested tubes takes the guesswork out of the process of selection delivering you the best Audio tubes that there possibly can be.

What I like about these tubes is that they have Matched & Balanced Triodes with Uniquely closely Matched Plate-Resistance (Rp) & matched Tube-Gain (Mu)


STAPLES PLATES PROVIDE EXTRA SUPPORT TO ENSURE LOW MICRO-PHONICS 

AND STABILITY AND LONGEVITY


PRECISION TESTED & LIVE AUDITIONED

ON 1960's McIntosh MC-225

AMPLITREX AT1000 TESTED:

Pair #1: tube 1:

It's VERY RARE to find MIRROR-MATCHED TRIODES in a pair of 12BH7A, usually the sides are not symmetrical so if MIRROR-MATCHED TRIODES appeal to you, then this pair is for YOU!

3,100 mA/V (100%GM) W0W!

3,100 mA/V (100%GM) WOW!

tube 2:

3,100 mA/V (100%GM) W0W!

3,100 mA/V (100%GM) WOW!


BALANCED & MATCHED PAIR WITH IDENTICAL CONSTRUCTION!  CLOSE AND TIGHT BETWEEN THE TUBES AND THEIR TRIODES!

EVERY TUBE'S NOS % GIVEN WITH ACTUAL TUBE MUSEUM PROOF!

MOST 12BH7's BEING SOLD ELSEWHERE HAVE A VERY LOW mA/V / Gm!

Don't take foolish chances with Other offers with weak 50% TO 70% EMIS (mA) & Gm, if lucky!

If you see the words "AUTOBIAS" on their test label "STAY AWAY" it's not the TRUE mA measurements!  This test gives you a higher 'score' than the Fixed bias test does, but that's because the tester is optimizing the operating conditions of the tube to achieve a good score.

There is a GANG of tube seller's on eBay with used product that advertise as "STRONG" with meaningless numbers and when you test their tubes they are weak!

Only BUY THE BEST Tube Museum Tubes ... 

NEW IS NEW IS NEW!

NEVER-USED REAL NEW OLD STOCK!


These tubes all have VERY HIGH mA/V which is really important to insure a LONG-LIFE of your 12BH7 tubes! 

Did you know that weak 12BH7 preamp tubes put an unnecessary strain and SHORTEN the LIFE of you other tubes in the circuit?

If you want the "CREAM OF THE CROP" the BEST there can be, this is it.

TubeMuseum tested tubes takes the guesswork out of the process of selection delivering you the best Audio tubes that there possibly can be.



TESTED AT REAL-WORLD POWER LEVELS ON AMPLITREX AT-1000 in Fixed-Bias Mode

Tested on Amplitrex AT1000 Digital Tube Test System

..." * Rp or plate resistance is the second most important parameter as it directly affects the output impedance of the preamp. Circuit designers are looking at Mu primarily, Rp next and we hardly care about Gm at all. Why then do most vendors measure Gm and Gm alone? Because most testers only measure Gm! No commercial tester ever measured Mu either (until the AMPLITREX AT1000 was introduced.) And even the Hickock, treasured for measuring Gm, doesn’t measure it meaningfully (due to current dependency), accurately (due to calibration difficulties) or consistently (due to internal circuit drift).'"...

This tube is known for excellent performance, smooth highs, outstanding 3-D holographic soundstage, lots of open-air, inner detail, and overall perfect resolution and balanced sound.
