One thought on “Telefunken EL84

  1. Telefunken, Telefunken, Telefunken a lot of people talk about tubes created by this incredible company, but very few people can articulate strengths and weaknesses of their tubes. A lot of people claim that this tube is the best EL84, well… it depends. The tubes is a fantastic example of EL84, but… it performs absolutely wonderfully in a vintage tube gear (top frequency extension makes amps to open up); however, in the modern gear… it can make the system sound too thin and too bright. This tube is a perfect example of German engineering, superbly controlled, absolutely precise, incredibly neutral. If this is what you are looking for in your tube gear, this is it. On the other hand, it doesn’t come even close to lusciousness of Amperex or superb bass of 6p14p. So yes, the tubes is amazing in the right gear, but can be quite mediocre in new gear.
