I have the phillip/miniwatt tall brown base ecc35. Even though they say made in holland, I am pretty sure they are the same as the mullards. Love this tube. Tight articulate bass with lush mids that are still detailed, and smooth highs. Seems to make a great driver.
Beautiful tubes for sure.
Mullard was owned by Philips.
I guess they were made by Mullard and relabeled/repacked as Philips.
They look exactly as the Mullard I have, will expand on the subject soon.
Feel free to use the photos. The monkey is extra. So far I have seen adzam, mullard, and phillips/miniwatt. Short and tall black base and short and tall brown base. I think the short brown bass came first then the tall brown base. The tall black base seem to be the last grouping and I have no idea when the short black base came into play.
If some Philips tubes were never made in Holland (as it is branded) then how is one really to know if any of them were made there? Then again, who cares. They could have be made on Mars and if they sound incredible--then all the better.
