A rectifier is an electronic device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The rectifier is indeed an essential block that helps create the sound of an amplifier. BLACK DIAMOND SERIES VAGUUM TUBES ‘TELEFUNKEN vacuum tubes have been the benchmark of excellence in all audio applications, both production and reproduction, for many decades. Today, this rich history continues with the introduction of new production tubes from TELEFUNKEN, EleKtroakustik, in partnership with JJ Tubes from the Carpathian Mountains of Cadca in Slovakia. Each tube is meticulously measured for all critical parameters of performance including transconductance, gain, noise, and microphonies. All TELEFUNKEN branded tubes are hand picked to be the best examples of Easter European construction in the proud tradition with which the name TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik has become synonymous. In addition to the rigorous testing procedure, all new production TELEFUNKEN tubes are cryogenically treated to ensure durability, {and subjected to an extended burn-in period to ensure superior stability. The tubes are re-measured subsequent to burn-in, and, ‘again before final packaging, in order to guarantee that only the best, lowest noise tubes are offered.
