Professional Tube Laboratory Test Report
Every tube listed in my shop undergoes a rigorous testing procedure to ensure the highest fidelity and performance for your equipment.
- Testing Equipment: Professional Kalibr L3-3 Tube Tester.
- Precision Measurement: Measurements are verified using a calibrated Metrix MX 51EX digital multimeter.
- Transparency: All results are provided in the product photos, displaying specific Anode Current (Ia) and Transconductance (S) values compared to manufacturer specifications.
For sale is a premium, vintage Mazda 12AX7 / ECC83 dual triode tube (Internal Reference: TG3M74). This authentic French production features the classic silver-white brand label and the distinct VII-7 historical batch code stamped directly on the glass. Mazda tubes from this era are highly celebrated by audiophiles and guitar players for their exceptionally low noise floor, crisp high-end detail, and highly dynamic, open soundstage.
Vintage Authenticity & Performance
While this unit has been previously used and comes without its original cardboard packaging, it has been meticulously measured and audited on our professional, lab-grade Kalibr L3-3 tube tester.
The structural integrity is excellent, and the electrical performance shows a beautifully balanced transconductance (S) tracking tight and parallel across both internal triode sections. This balanced performance is crucial for ensuring identical channel gain in high-end audio preamplifiers.
Key Features
- Brand / Label: Mazda (Classic Silver Stamp with
VII-7Batch Code) - Type: 12AX7 / ECC83
- Design: Short Dark Gray Plates / Halo Getter / Ruggedized Double Mica Support
- Condition: Tested Strong / Vintage Used (Beautifully balanced amplification sections)
- Packaging: Shipped in a secure, generic white protective box (No original box)
- Safety: Strictly tested, NO shorts, perfect insulation.
Detailed Test Results (Kalibr L3-3)
Tested under reference conditions: Uh 12.6V / Uc1 -2V / Va 250V
(Factory Spec for 100% brand new tube is Ia = 1.2 mA / S = 1.6 mA/V)
• Anode Current (Ia): 0.96 mA (79.7% of factory spec)
• Transconductance (S): 1.51 mA/V (94.3% of factory spec)
• Anode Current (Ia): 0.95 mA (79.5% of factory spec)
• Transconductance (S): 1.40 mA/V (87.4% of factory spec)
🌟 Seller Note on Performance: With an anode current (Ia) tracking at an almost identical 0.96 mA / 0.95 mA, and a mutual conductance (S) standing strong at 1.51 mA/V / 1.40 mA/V (up to 94.3% of factory baseline), this tube offers outstanding electrical balance. It is fully optimized and ready to bring its distinct vintage French musicality to your premium Hi-Fi phono stages, studio gear, or classic guitar amplifiers.
Structural & Insulation Tests Passed
This specimen has been individually audited and successfully met all 5 laboratory insulation criteria:
- Insulation test between Cathode (k) and Heater (H) 1st section: PASSED (No leakage)
- Insulation test between Cathode (k) and Grid 1 (g1) 1st section: PASSED (No shorts)
- Insulation test between Grid section 1 (g1) and Grid section 2 (g2): PASSED (No inter-section leakage)
- Insulation test between Cathode (k) and Heater (H) 2nd section: PASSED (No leakage)
- Insulation test between Cathode (k) and Grid 2 (g2) 2nd section: PASSED (No shorts)
About our testing methodology
To provide full transparency, our laboratory testing uses a professional Kalibr L3-3 tube tester. Since this device uses specific internal scales rather than direct mA/V readouts, each value is physically calculated to ensure precision.
- Example of our calculation (Transconductance S):
Using a raw Kalibr reading of 75.4 on a standard scale of 150 with a multiplier of 3:
(75.4 x 3) / 150 = 1.51 mA/V - Percentage vs. Factory Specs:
We then benchmark this result against the factory nominal value for a new tube (e.g., 1.6 mA/V for an ECC83):
(1.51 / 1.6) x 100 = 94.3% of factory specification.
