Hickok 752A Tested
Up for sale is a single (1 PC) vintage NOS GE (General Electric) 5814A premium dual triode vacuum tube, packaged in a white box. The 5814A is General Electric’s military-spec, ruggedized drop-in upgrade for any standard 12AU7 / ECC82 circuit. Featuring classic GE green print, dark black plates, a heavy-duty triple-mica structure for microphonic resistance, and a top ring getter, this tube is prized by audiophiles for its exceptionally balanced tone, robust construction, and low noise floor.
As shown, this tube has been thoroughly tested on a legendary Hickok 752A mutual conductance tube tester. Mutual conductance (Gm) measurements alongside percentage performance ratings relative to nominal factory specs are detailed in the table below.
