In the Thread: A new European production of 12AX7?
Post Subject: After some investigationPosted by Antonio J. on: 11/11/2007
I've found they're slovakian company and regarding the product description, they don't produce the valves, they just make a search and selection of the best current production tubes. So they charge a nice fee for that selection and testing. Not bad.

Looks like the damper-cooler they use must be magical. I bet those are current production JJ's. Maybe it's even the own JJ selling them after the quality control. Something similar to what Telefunken did with their E88CC, only the best measuring ones were sold as CCa. The normal 803s by JJ are selling for 11.95$ at Tube Store and the ECC83 goldpins for 17.95. If you have a good tube tester maybe you can buy a bunch (5 tubes go for 84.75) and get your "perfect" 12AX7.
