Because of the Black plates???

[adrianc]

This one should be made by Siemens

yes,the black color is not like European  tube's black,and the inside stracture also shows it's US made tube. 

[ltr317]

Yes B329 made by Brimar

Very rare.  I've owned several yellow T's but could never afford these.

Actually it was made by RCA,but don't know why it had gold pins?

Hi Itr 317,It's a Brimar made ECC82 only but with a GEC sticker,nothing special

Siemens E82CC black plates gold pins

The internal structure looks like Sylvania 5751's.  Same black plate color.

it says the material is different from brimar.and sunds much better.you sunds the same?

If this GEC is from Brimar I can not see any sound difference unless the label change the sound,as most people said a Gold Lion B739,B749,B759 sounds better than the same Mullard version ?

For sure a Siemens Munich made in the very late 50's to early 60's, nice sound, very dinamic, maybe a little bit bold.

I don't know. do you think gold lion b749 sound the same with same version mullard?

In that case, I'll stick with the Yellow T's since they are much cheaper.

All of these Gold Lion valves are 100% made by Mullard and all had Mullard date code on them depend on the version (161 e.g ) the different is they have been checked for tighter tolerance and comes with a tested result,a better spec. doesn't mean a better sound quality and remember this so call tested result is not for that single valve,that's for the whole same production batch.I had listen to them before and I don' think they sounds better than the same production Mullard. Long time ago I tested few of the Mullard square getter ECC83,all of them have the same date code,same 100%  measurement  match and found them sounds different,Why,have a guess and let you know next time.

Have you try the Phillips 30 degree strip foil bar getter version,you might like it.

I don't have the chance to hear gold lion B749,but many tube fans said although the inside stracure are same with mullard.but the oxide material on the cathode are different,and the inert gas in the tube is also different.they produced according to gold lion's demand and design.and said they sounds much better than mullard.even said they are the king of ecc82.I don't know.

to me 1950-53's brimar black plates square getter is my favorite ecc82.

Great tube, a little bit light bass but one of the most liquid mids I've heard in ecc82 family

No, but if they are not crazy expensive I may try some.

When you got chance to listen to them then you will find out and even the same Golden Lion version sounds different as my last posted mention about the Mullard,the sound different came from the bottom mica,the lighter color sounds more transparent and the deeper color sounds more weight and body,try it and hear the difference.

[adrianc]

It's worth to try just don't buy the lever getter version

[adrianc]

Any body knows what is this valves??
