“I am running these in my Cary SLI-80F1 and with Sylvania 6sn7wgta's in their repective position really brought the best out of these tubes.”

“A very nice sounding tube that does nothing offensive. Smooth and Holographic with a nice clean deep base and smooth midrange and high frequency response. Much better bass response than the national 7dj8 but very comparable to the holographics of that tube. This tube puts you mid hall compared to the bugle boy 6dj8 which is more up front in its presentation. Highly recommended tube and very reasonably priced when compared to some NOS tubes.”

“Got the Ah!Tjoeb CD player from Kevin, very accurate, if a bit cool and analytical. Added the upsampler, huge increase in soundstage, in musicality, in the details that let you know human beings are making the music--breath sounds, fingers sliding up and down strings, the vibrato and reasonances one hears on instruments of all types, from saxes to guitars to the human voice. But still, a little cool, a little lean....until we rolled a pair of these in place of the stock tubes. Warmer, fuller, richer, sweeter...can't use enough "er" words. Vocals go from involvling to amazing, better articulation of everything from drumhead hits to bass lines to the shimmer of cymbals. All, better. To Kevin's staff's credit, when I was willing to pony up for platinum grade while ordering these tubes, they assured me that driver grade was all I'd need, that in this application I'd never hear a difference. Obviously, I've spent much more with them than was saved by that advice; just as obviously, I'm making those additional purchases in part due to the credibility that Upscale earned on that relatively small sale. Both product and vendor hightly recommended.”

“Fabulous tubes, very coherent from top to bottom, sweet sounding highs, very musical, lifelike mids and slightly warm and round but still well defined bass. I much preferred these to the Ediswans, see my other review.”
