Description

Here is a pair of Tronal EL34 tubes; most likely a selection of RFT Germany. The RFT EL34 is known as an excellent sounding EL34 with o longs “life”. They deliver superior sonics compared to the Chinese and Russian new production EL34. 

The pair has NOS specs. The measurement data below show the pair is matched. And fully in line with the specification for an EL34.

Note: my tubes are often not the cheapest.But is very hard to find better tubes !

Test results*

Specified measurement data

I give no garantee on measurements or different values measured on other tube testers or analysers. Just in case of mismatch of “standard” values of the different tube testers “standards”. My test results refer to tube data sheets provided by the original tube producers. (You’ll find them easily on the web.) And are measured with the specified test equipment.
