Valves. Brimar Mazda ECC83 grey ladders plates NOS 1962-1972

Hello!


I want to upgrade my cdplayer with new old valves ,NOS.

Does anybody know something about this valves:

Brimar - Mazda ecc83 grey ladder plates, NOS, 1962-1972.


I think, that are valves, which produced Birmar for Mazda.

Are they similar to the Mullard ecc83, NOS?

Are they playing in the same class?

What's characteristic for the valves?


Please excuse my bad English!

Thank you very much for your help!

Best regards!

Jürgen

Brimar fuse looks rather interesting, too. Silver, gold, cryo, Quantum something or another.

The Brimar ECC 83 is the same type of tube as any other brand ECC 83.   The American designation for this tube is 12AX7.

Brimars are good tubes but it is not possible to say how it will sound in your system.  lowrider57's description is about as close as we can get.

Sorry to divert from your specific question, but I am trying to imagine where you would use a 12AX7/ECC83 in a CD player. Typically, CDPs that use tubes, use them in a capacity that would not be well suited to an ECC83.  Are you trying to replace "like with like", or are you experimenting with changing the tube type, as well as the tube brand? If you would divulge the name of your CDP, that would help.  Thanks.
