In Reply to: There's a Telefunken USA that makes tubes and microphones posted by Mark Tinordi on April 9, 2007 at 05:30:56:
'Telefunken | USA™ develops new VF14K valve for U47, announces ship date of RM-5C Ribbon MicrophoneSouth Windsor, CT, January 2007 – In Berlin, Germany 53 years ago, production of the rare VF14 tube was discontinued. After several years of research, design and prototype development, Telefunken USA is proud to announce that they have completed the first 100 test tubes of the new VF14K. Each tube has exceeded the 10000 hour long test time.
“We knew that without suitable microphone grade tubes, our effort to build the best microphones in the world would come to an end after our small inventory of NOS tubes would be gone, putting our historical replica of the U47 at risk of being discontinued. With that in mind, we began our tube development in late 2003, and after a very difficult start, we produced our first prototype tubes in late 2005. Currently, the VF14K tubes are hand-built in our laboratory, and we will do our best to implement them in our U47 microphone systems later this year. Please stay tuned for more information, pictures will come soon!â€"
I would bet that whatever Tony comes up with will be very good. He's working with some of the very best people in the business.
