Not just an replacement, but an improvement!

After 45 years,  the original American type "45" tube is now back in production again, and we have called it  EML 45.    This was our first "45" , and it has solid plates. 

We have now also build a mesh version of this tube, called EML 45-mesh.  It features a mesh window in the plates.  This combines the electrical stability of solid plate tubes, with the non-resonance mesh material. We think this is the most ideal combination for a low power audio tube.

When a tube is given mesh plates, something magic happens to the sound.  We believe this is caused by the high damping properties of the mesh material.  When using mesh tubes, you will experience what people call a more "transparent" sound stage, meaning a more realistic stereo reproduction of the original sound recording.  With this quality product you will enjoy the very best of what small triodes have to offer. 

The EML 45 tube is constructed for low  microphony. All critical parts, like filaments and  grids  are made of hard metal for higher reliability and reproducable quality.  They have 4  four original V-shaped filaments like found in most 45's. 

Features

• Mesh window plate 
• Fully compatible to solid plate 45
• Wolfram Grids (Note1)
• Two extra large getters, flashing the complete tube bottem. 
• Hand blown ST Glass bulb
• Anti-microphonic plate- and grid  suspension
• These tubes are shipped in a high quality dual box
• Tube pinting with real gold (metal),  red color is burned into the glass 
• Machined, solid tube base pins for highest contact precision. Ideal for the YAMAMOTO tube sockets. 
• Gold plated pins,  black ceramic socket.  (White bottem)

• Note 1)  Hard-metal filaments prevent filament breakage with DHT Tubes.  This material has a higher melting point than the classical nickel wires. Wolfram grids  allow the most precise grid wire distance, because wolfram is an extreme hard metal.   This ensures better grid  precision, which gives uniformity and better linearity at the low end of the tube currves.
• Note 2)  Individual Test data, such as:  Matching Data, Grid Current, Vacuum, Filament Current, etc,  are on the Certificate that comes with each individual Tube.  Each tube is numbered, inside the bulb  with a metal Tag
