Description
The Genalex Gold Lion 12AU7 / ECC82 is widely regarded as one of the finest current-production small-signal triodes available. Gold Lion’s painstaking reissue of this classic design brings the warmth and dynamics that the original British-made Gold Lions were celebrated for, now built to modern production standards in Russia.
With gold-plated pins for maximum conductivity and ultra-low contact resistance, each valve is precision-matched for gain and transconductance, ensuring balanced performance across both triode sections. The sonic character is smooth, expansive and genuinely quiet — qualities that matter enormously in phono stages, volume-control buffers, and line-level driver positions.
Compatible with any 12AU7, ECC82, 5814, 6189 or 5963 socket position. Particularly popular in PrimaLuna and Line Magnetic amplifiers. Single valve, tested before dispatch.
