Vacuum Tubes

Miniature sharp-cutoff pentode for use as a wide-band, high-frequency amplifier. It is also useful in video and audio amplifiers, oscillators, mixers, frequency multipliers, and cathode followers.

Miniature medium-mu twin triode each section of which as a separate cathode connection. The tube is suited for use in a wide variety of general-purpose amplifier and mixer circuits as well as numerous multi-vibrator and oscillator applications.

Subminiature pentode for use as an A.F. power amplifier in portable equipment.

General purpose medium-mu double triode using the 9-pin button all-glass construction. The tube is characterized by high perveance and high emission capabilities.

Sharp cutoff pentode intended for critical industrial applications where 10,000 hour life, extreme uniformity, rigid construction, and exceptional stability are paramount.

Triple grid general purpose detector amplifier.

Miniature remote-cutoff pentode intended for use as a high-gain radio frequency or intermediate-frequency amplifier. Its remote-cutoff characteristic makes it suitable for use in circuits to which it is desired to apply automatic-gain-control.

Miniature pentagrid converter designed for use as a combined mixer and oscillator in superheterodyne circuits.

Miniature high-mu twin triode each section of which as an individual cathode connection suited for use in resistance-coupled voltage amplifiers, phase inverters, multivibrators, andindustrial-control circuits where high voltage gain is desired.

A dual triode that can be used in place of most 12AX7 circuits. The rugged build of this tube and reduced gain (30% less than a 12AX7) can improve headroom and give better control in high gain stages allowing users to more easily dial in sweet spots. The JJ 5751 features a smooth and balanced tone and a detailed response with low noise and low microphonics.

Low-noise Tube for Best Clean Tone! The TAD Selected 5751 is Tube Amp Doctor's first choice for noticeably improved clarity, smoothness, and a true vintage tone character for most guitar amps!

Tung Sol 5751 dual triode preamp tube. Made in Russia. NOS specs call the 5751 a “special 12AX7” having a high-mu amplification factor of 70.

Heater-cathode type transmitting beam power amplifier in the 9 pin miniature construction. It is intended for use in compact, low-power mobile transmitters and in the low-power stages of larger fixed station transmitters.

Triple grid variable mu amplifier.

Medium-mu twin triode 9-pin miniature type, intended for applications where dependable performance under shock and vibration is paramount. The 5814A is a "premium" version of the 12AU7.

9-pin miniature triode with an indirectly heated cathode. It is intended primarily for grounded grid operation in the input stage of broad band amplifiers.

Sharp-cutoff pentode of the 9-pin miniature type intended for use as an audio amplifier in applications requiring reduced microphonics, leakage noise, and hum.

The JJ Electronic 5881 is very similar to the 6L6GC but with a plate dissipation of 23W rather than 30W. Another physical difference is the shorter bulb. These tubes have a soft and balanced response that sounds great in both guitar amps and hifi equipment. The JJ 5881 will work in any amp that uses 6L6 tubes.

The Psvane 5881 is a high quality beam power pentode with an octal base. The Psvane 5881 is noted for its outstanding sound and is an excellent choice for both guitar and stereo amplifiers. The 5881 is similar to 6L6 tubes but with a maximum plate dissipation of 23W. The Psvane Classic Series is focused on the reproduction of popular vacuum tubes found in classic audio equipment. When designing the Classic Series, Psvane collected the most sought-after NOS tubes and analyzed each element of their construction, incorporating the most effective manufacturing techniques to produce stable tubes with excellent sound. Whether used in guitar amplifiers or hifi stereo systems, the Psvane Classic Series vacuum tubes excel in all applications. Psvane has been producing high quality vacuum tubes since 2011. The Psvane team originally formed in Shuguang’s high-end tube division but eventually split off to form their own brand.

The 5881 is a very reliable tube that is widely used in many current production tube amplifiers. It has a warm tone with good 'bite.' This modern version is able to tolerate higher voltages than its 5881 / 6L6 cousins. The Sovtek 5881 delivers a warm, round tone that "sweetens" any vintage or modern guitar amp design. Built to rigid military standards, the 5881 will tolerate higher voltages than any other 6L6. In fact, they're frequently used as replacements for the old 7027 model in vintage Ampegs. Extremely consistent from piece to piece.

Russian made reissue of the original Tungsol.
The 5881 is the electrical equivalent to types 6L6 and 6L6G except that the plate and screen dissipation ratings have been increased approximately 20 percent. It embodies a complete mechanical redesign which results in greater resistance to shock and vibration.

The Sovtek 5881WXT is the same as the 5881 but with a full size base for easy installation in vintage amp designs. The Sovtek 5881 delivers a warm, round tone that "sweetens" any vintage or modern guitar amp design. Built to rigid military standards, the 5881 will tolerate higher voltages than any other 6L6. In fact, they're frequently used as replacements for the old 7027 model in vintage Ampegs. Extremely consistent from piece to piece. The Sovtek 5881 has a heater voltage of 6.3 volts at 0.88 amperes.

The 5881 is the electrical equivalent to types 6L6 and 6L6GC except that the plate and screen dissipation ratings have been increased approximately 20 percent.

The premium subminiature type 5902 is a beam power pentode designed for use as an audio amplifier. It is intended for operation under conditions of severe shock, vibration, high temperature, and high altitude.
