Features of the Elite E-845: 

• Ultra purity Molybdenum metal plate – by nature this special material has better heat dissipation than graphite plate, and has better stability under extreme temperature
• No solder points in the entire plate so the plate has better reliability – 16 nuts and screws to fix the Moly plate in perfect position
• Superior sonic signature offered by metal plate 845: strong emission leads to strong plate current and a feel of bigger sound stage
• Low tube base noise as low as 0.01mV measured by lab equipment
• Reinforced 4-pole internal structure for safe shipping and handling
• Manufacturer recommended optimal sound to when biased at 65mA, at 1000V plate voltage. User may deviate from this setting but please monitor for red plate if set at too high

Tube Dimensions (in mm): 

Please note that this E-845 model will be by default shipped WITHOUT the factory heavy box. The reason for this shipping changes is

1) To help international customers to manage destination customs clearance process and reduce delay caused by customs inspection and high duty assessment due to unnecessarily fancy packaging. 

2) The heavy rigid factory box often result in mishandling by courier due to their weight ratio to the box size, and tubes do not have enough cushion around inside the packaging. This shipping damages have caused many past issues and we have to stop using the heavy ‘gift’ box. Instead, tubes will be well packed with bubble wrap / packing peanuts soft cushion around for better shipping and handling. All shipping damages will be covered by our glassware insurance that is shown during checkout.
