The company ATES was established in 1959 in Italy for the construction of electron tubes. The production started with the cooperation of RCA which was one of the Major shareholders of ATES. In 1963 the name “Aquila Tubi Elettronici e Semiconduttori” was changed in “Aziende Tecniche ed Elettroniche del Sud”, Hence the name ATES. The Audio valves were all made under licence and were the RCA designs. In 1972 ATES merged with SGS (Società Generale Semiconduttori) and the company name became SGS-ATES. ATES disappeared completely from the company denomination in 1985. The Ates valves were all made to very high standards and normally to very high standard. They offer RCA sound quality and construction.
Two Items only


The 6AN8A is a triode-pentode that is used in many vintage guitar amps and Hi-Fi systems.

The pentode section provides the amplification while the triode is usually used as a phase splitter.

The Ates item is a very high quality item that was made to very tight production limits as this item was used by many Japanese audio manufactures. Ates sourced these from Japan as the look identical to the Toshiba item.

The valve has grey anode with 6AN8A in the glass with no logo
