The Mullard Radio Valve Co. Ltd was founded in 1920. In 1923,to meet the huge consumer demand in electronics Mullard entered an agreement with Philips of Holland and by 1926 Philips bought Mullard and established one of the greatest valve manufacturing companies in world history.

They developed many iconic valve such as the ECC83, EF86, EL34,EL37, EL84, GZ34 and GZ37.These are regarded as the best valves of their type ever made and original Mullard items are high prized by Musicians Broadcasters and Audiophiles the world over due to their sound quality. You can see how these valves were made on the front of our website in the Blackburn storey.
Mullard PCL83 is a triode pentode that was used in television audio circuits. These are UK Mullard made items with no logo Blackburn codes on the valve.

We have seen a huge demand for this valve recently for use in headphone amplifiers as the PCL83 can produce enough output power for an average home environment.

The common valve in World Audio Design Headphone amplifier was a Mullard ECL83 which runs off a 6.3 heater voltage. This valve is now hard to find and expensive.

The PCL83 runs of a 12.6 heater voltage so many hobbyist and small companies are now designing circuits around the PCL83 and tell us that the Mullard item is super for this application. Due to this our stock has deleted fast over the last year.

We have a good stock of these and they are very cheap at the moment. Indeed they are cheaper now, when you factor in inflation, than they were if you bought them off Mullard in the 1970s and 1980s.

So for headphone amps these are superb
