The Telefunken ECC808 (also known by its American designation 6KX8) is a high-quality, low-noise dual triode vacuum tube designed for demanding audio frequency preamplifier applications, with a unique pinout that is not directly interchangeable with the common ECC83/12AX7.

Description
- High Quality Construction: The ECC808 is part of Telefunken's high-reliability "800" series, known for exceptional performance, stability, and durability. Most original Telefunken ECC808 tubes feature the distinctive diamond mark on the bottom of the glass base.
- Low Noise & Hum: It was specifically engineered for very sensitive, low-noise applications like phono preamps for magnetic cartridges, where its low hum and microphonics provided an advantage over the standard ECC83, potentially allowing the use of AC heating.
- Audio Preamplifier Use: Audiophiles and experts praise it for delivering a warm, rich sound with excellent clarity and precision in audio systems. It was used in vintage European audio equipment, such as certain Rogers integrated amplifiers and preamps, and Echolette PA amplifiers.
- Unique Pinout: Crucially, while its internal electrical system is similar to the ECC83/12AX7, its pin configuration is different. It is not a direct, plug-and-play substitute without an adapter or socket rewiring.
