A very quiet selected version of a 12AT7.

Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-12AU7 Preamp Tube $13.95 The Groove Tubes GT-12AU7 preamp tube is based on a design from the Ei factory in the former Yugoslavia. The GT-12AU7 is an excellent quality large-plate European-made driver tube, styled after the famous Telefunken line of dual triodes. The usual application for a 12AU7 tube is as the phase inverter that drives the power tubes. These are very well matched, and so are highly recommended for Ampeg SVT’s and other amps using this tube as a phase inverter. Also commonly used as phase inverters in McIntosh Hi-Fi amps, some Ampeg amps, and will yield the most clean headroom in many amps. In the latest Fender Pro Series amps such as the Pro Reverb, Concert, and Twin, this tube in V2 (or a 12AY7), will drop the gain of the gain channel where some feel the tone is of a less intense or “buzzy” character. This will then allow a much wider range in the sweep of the volume and gain controls of this channel.Country of origin: ChinaCountry of origin: China

Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tube $20.95 The most common rectifier tube used in higher powered amps which use a rectifier such as Fender 40 watt and Vox AC-30 amplifiers. Common to higher powered tube amps, like the later Fender Super Reverb amps and the Vox AC30 (or Matchless copies). May be used to replace a 5U4 or 5Y3 and will give a faster more dynamic tonal result. This rectifier has a rise time from 300-400 volts that is about 1/2 that of a 5U4. They work nicely in amps such as the Mesa Rectifier series which use the 5U4. Great if you want a feel and response that is tighter than stock rectifiers yet you want to retain the feel and compression character of a vacuum rectifier over the solid-state setting.   Country of origin: RussiaCountry of origin: Russia

Groove Tubes Gold Series GT-12AT7 Preamp Tube $13.49 The Groove Tubes GT-12AT7 preamp tube is manufactured to the highest quality JAN spec. NOS, made in Russia for extremely long life. Used widely in most U.S.-made amps and, in particular, Fender amps. Fender amps with reverb use 2 – 12AT7s — one for the reverb drive stage, and one as a phase inverter to drive the push/pull output stage. The makeup of the 12AT7 is very similar to the 12AX7 and it can be substituted for a 12AX7 in a pinch. Some players prefer the 12AT7 in the driver stage of a Marshall for a cleaner, brighter tone. (The driver or phase inverter is the 12AX7 located nearest the power tubes.) The 12AT7 is rarely used in a tone-generating stage, but rather in function stages, so the Groove Tubes GT-12AT7 is selected for durability.Country of origin: RussiaTested under extreme conditionsGuaranteed free of excess noise and squealJAN spec.MilitaryNOSExtremely long lifeCountry of origin: Russia

Reflect-A-GOLD heat reflecting tape

When it comes to cars, heat is the enemy. It robs power, destroys parts, and can make for quite the sweaty, uncomfortable drive. Don't ask.

In the realm of engines, heat is both a byproduct and a hindrance to making horsepower. Turbochargers compress intake air in order to better fill an engine, simultaneously heating the air as well. Exhaust ports, firing on pure hellfire, also generate significant underhood heat, captured within exhaust pipes and manifolds.

All of this latent heat seeks to raise the temperature of intake air, which needs to remain as cool as possible to generate power. The captured engine heat also has a tendency to spread its effects, melting nearby wires, downpipe-adjacent body panels, and causing the firewall or foot panel area to become unbearably hot.

Enthusiasts often go to extreme measures to withstand the heat, especially during extended track or racing outings. Some users employ massively heavy intercoolers, ground-scraping cold air intakes that snake out of the engine bay, and double thick socks that keep burned toes at bay.

One of the solutions from Design Engineering, Inc. Similar to the gold thermal tape used in aerospace and the racing industry, Reflect-A-GOLD is a self-adhesive golden tape that DEI claims can reflect up to 80% of radiant heat and can handle continuous operating temperatures of 850-degrees F, with the adhesive side rated up to 325-degrees F.

The Reflect-A-GOLD tape has many potential uses in the performance car market. By wrapping an air intake box or tube, the intake air can be shielded from heat. Firewalls or rear decks can also be covered in it, keeping engine bay heat from entering the cabin. The tape can even be applied to certain sheet metal heat shields, increasing their effectiveness.

As opposed to more expensive wraps, blankets, or sprays, the gold tape is easy to apply (peel and stick), very thin for clearance, and lightweight. We've always liked its simple nature and you've no doubt seen golden thermal tape applied to the firewalls and airboxes of numerous racecars. But how well does it work?

PARTS TESTING

Our testing idea is deceptively simple – torture blast the Reflect-A-GOLD tape and see how it holds up. Using the blue flame of our torch, rated at 3000-degrees F, we'll be testing to see the effective temperature reduction and reflection of the Reflect-A-GOLD tape.

Unless your car is on fire and melting to the ground (at which you'd have bigger things to worry about – Ed.), it's unlikely to see any temperatures near 3000-degrees F. But using this high of a temperature, far beyond the rated capacity of the tape, will allow us to display the behavior of the product under incredible stress.

In order to keep our results consistent, all of our testing was done with the same ambient air temperature and sensor. Our sensor was tied into place on a vice and the distance to the torch kept constant between our two tests.

RESULTS

Our first test consisted of the 3000-degree torch flame being applied directly to a steel plate, which itself was in direct contact with the temperature sensor. Our initial temperature reading was at 83-degrees F. After a 20-second burn cycle, our sensor was reading a temperature of 205-degrees F.

For the next test, the same steel plate was covered in Reflect-A-GOLD tape on one side. After waiting for the temperature sensor to normalize back to 83-degrees F, we completed another 20-second burn cycle at the same distance. Our new ending temperature was now 95-degrees F. That's a 54% reduction in heat.

Pushed almost ten times past its rated fire resistant heat capacity, the Reflect-A-GOLD tape charred and burned on its outer layer, as expected.

Still, the tape managed to pull off a 110-degree reduction in temperature and resisted the fire with its inner secondary layer. These are impressive results, especially for a roll that is as easy to put on as masking tape.

The Reflect-A-GOLD tape isn't what we would consider super cheap, a 1'x1' piece runs around $20 but it's perfect for thermal situations that require low clearance, odd shaping, or just a small shield (around a exhaust pipe, for instance). As a tip, the Reflect-A-GOLD tape rolls, 2"x15' for around $40, are much better bargains for covering intake tubes and airboxes.
