Very rare ECC82/6189W half plate anode design made by Radio Technique in the original box.
These are long life valves made by Radio Technique for French military and date from 51 week of 1960.
The valve differs from the ladder plate as it has the smaller half plate anode, it has the finest quality copper support rods and the getter is double supported with a plate support under the getter.
The design of the half plate anode was considered to offer better isolation to shock and vibration and like the latter ladder plate design these valves were made with the highest grade materials and with no compromise on selection or quality control.
These valves have a number of unique features such as high grade filament isolation so even after long periods of use the filament will not degrade and were rated for long life. To put it simply, No modern day ECC82 is made to this specification.
Over the years we have had many audio customers ask us to check our stock of the half ladder plate items to see if we had any of these hidden gems.
Like the ladder plate version, they offer a warm, detailed and neutral sound. In audio circuits the valves have a very clear bass response, which is both tight and musical. The sound has even detail across the audio spectrum, treble is clear and smooth.
Many audio customers have said that the half plate has more musical speed and dynamics. This has made this item the most sought after.
I have personally found very little to choose from between the ladder plate and the half plate, they are both exceptional sounding valves but what I can say is that these are certainly amongst the best sounding ECC82 types ever made.
