Hi.

I've just found few NOS ECC83 from Haltron, Trigon and Ultron that I'm going to use with my Egnater M4 modular Pre-Amp.

Do you have some information, or the expected qualities about those brands?

The only thing I've found is that the Haltron ECC83 sells for €33,70 at http://www.drtube.com/tubeshop.htm and I've bought 6 unit for €12 each 🙂

BTW: I've got the opportunity to buy NOS ECC83 from the manufacturer RTF (€28,00 each) but I've found no information about it. Do you think it's worth to buy them?

Cheers!
Manuel

Haltron, etc were relabelers - you never know what you could get. I have a pair of Haltron C3ms that look to be Telefunken (but probably Siemens)... but I've also seen Japanese tubes (nothing wrong with those either) stuck in Haltron boxes.

Ok, I didn't know that. Thanks 🙂

I've just discarted one of the Haltron's because there was noise when I move the gain pot. First I thought It was a faulty pot, but the noise has gone after replacing the tube.
