About the EL84
The EL84 (6BQ5 equivalent) is a compact power pentode tube developed for audio output stages in radios and amplifiers. Produced by manufacturers like Ei-RC, it features high gain for eliminating driver tubes, with common use in push-pull pairs for 10-17W output. EICO integrated amps like HF-81, HF-14, HF-12, and HF-30 employed multiple EL84 output tubes alongside ECC83/12AX7 preamp and EZ81 rectifier tubes for high-fidelity performance. No longer manufactured as new stock; available as NOS or reproductions.
