New Matched Pair (2) JJ KT77 Vacuum Tubes

New Plate Current Matched Pair of JJ KT77 Vacuum Tubes

The KT77 is a long forgotten tube that has been brought back by JJ for a good reason. In both sound and design, this tube is somewhere between a 6L6GC and EL34. An amplifier that calls for either model will be able to run a KT77. This allows for that classic British tone, coupled with the clarity and headroom of a 6L6GC.

Testing and/or Matching

At VIVA TUBES, all of our customers get the same high standard of testing and matching. Some sellers charge more for premium matches but we believe all of our customers should get the same level of quality and service. 

Tubes are tested and/or matched at full operating voltage with regulated power supply on a Maxi Matcher tester for general mutual transconductance (Gm). In addition, power tubes are tested/matched by plate current (Ip) and preamp tubes are tested/matched by gain. Rectifier tubes will be tested for emissions on a calibrated military grade tube tester. 

Our goal is to match within 5% with an upper limit of 15% (15% is the industry limit to consider a set).

Hand written test data included.

Note that we do offer a few models which are tested & matched at the factory. They will be matched by the same parameters (Ip & Gm) but to the manufacturer's standards. Factory testing will be indicated in the item title and description.
