Been keeping my eyes out for possible tube deals, and just saw some Dynaco/Telefunken smooth plate 12ax7’s for a very decent price.
if your read this, would love to know your thoughts on these. Listed on US Audio Mart, and as links aren’t allowed, search “Telefunken 12AX7/ECC83 quad (4) tubes smooth plate test strong on Hickok 800 transconductance tester”
Thanks in advance, or anyone else who might have knowledge of these. |

@bkeske Go for it. I have Dynaco smooth plates in a Croft. |
@noromance
Seriously? Did you look at them? You know a lot more than I do about these tubes, and have been looking for some smooth plates per your suggestion. Just wasn’t sure about the Dynaco/Telefunken’s and didn’t want to overspend if they are not worth it.
Thanks! |
Sure. They are Telefunkens just rebranded for Dynaco. I pulled mine from a Dyna tuner years ago and they're still going strong. |
Great, think I’ll grab them. Thanks again. |
Although, I see they’ve got really expensive now. I bought other Dynaco/Teles for $40 a pair years ago. |
He pulled them from a Dynaco pre that he has for sale also (I believe). Put new JJ’s in that to sell these separately for bit extra cash. I think. Maybe I’ll make him a counter-offer. |

He accepted -$35 for the set. Ordered and done. |
The Dukes Of Dixieland – Now Hear This (Colombia Six-eye 1962)
Smooth jazz with he supreme clarity of this era. |
@bkeske You knocked $200 off the deal? Holy moly, man!
|
@noromance
No no 😁…..$35 off his $245 asking price w/shipping. So, $210 with shipping. Yea. That would have been a heck of deal for $35. Ha!
Still, not a bad a deal on smooth plate Telefunken’s. Just because they are rebranded. I’m not going to be upset they don't have the Telefunken stamping on the glass, I wanna hear the sound. |
Holger Czukay / Cinema (box set) |
Keely Smith – Swingin’ Pretty (Capitol 1959)
Not her best recording. Vocals are a bit further back in a sometimes busy mix. |
He accepted -$35 I see what you did there. ... Anyhow, they have the Telefunken diamond between pins molded in glass. |
Yep, I looked closely at the photos from the bottom. Looks like the diamond is there. In fact, downloaded and zoomed in Photoshop ;-)
Im excited to try these. Thanks for your guidance @noromance |

Nico & the Faction / Fata morgana
2017 RSD release |
Pretenders S/T Nautilus Superdisc Half-Speed Master recording. Excellent album of excellent music. I got the idea to play this album from this thread, yesterday. What a wonderful thread, the best on the forum.
George Harrison "All Things Must Pass" I have had this since it was first released. It's in perfect condition. Played only a few times, the box and all of the records and sleeves look like new. The music is wonderful but it's a crying shame that the SQ is terrible. Do any of you have an original copy (like I do) and find that the SQ is terrible, or is yours sounding good? Now I remember why it has so little play, it's because the SQ is that bad. "Isn't it a Pity" |
@mammothguy54
I have the original Joel, but mine isn’t anywhere near mint, as I played it so much ‘back in the day’. But, even though I played it a lot, yes, even on lesser equipment, I was always disappointed in the SQ. You can blame some of that on Spector but, IMO, it seems even more than that. It is a pity. |
mammothguy54,
I also have the original & agree with you on SQ.

@mammothguy54..I have a very early Apple pressing of All Things Must Pass also and agree that the SQ is not the best but I still do enjoy stepping into the "Light".
Also agree with @bkeske that the recording was most likely impacted a bit by the over-production of Phil Spector.
I'd be curious to hear how the newly released remasters sound.
