“I’ve a 23 year Sonic Frontiers line stage 1 preamp. It has 3 rows of tubes , 2 tubes per row. The manufacturer states the middle row makes the most sound difference, followed by the rear row. I placed these in the middle row: Gold Lion E88CC / 6922 Platinum Grade I placed these in the rear row: Electro-Harmonix 6922 Gold Pin Platinum Grade The prior tubes were NOS Mullard tubes, which sounded phenomenal until they slowly degraded in sound then started dropping volume These new tubes sound beautiful and lots of bass extension. I’m a musician more than an audiophile, these tubes sound very similar to actual instruments, that’s the best I can tell you. But honestly, this is the best my system has ever sounded. Oh, also a Lion tube failed within 6 hours, I called stating the issue, they sent an email then a return box. I shortly received a new matching pair, which worked flawlessly Excellent service with no issues.

“Replaced the OEM-spec Sovtek tubes that came with my Audio Research LS7 line-stage with 4 of these Electro-Harmonix 6922 Gold Pin tubes; went with the Platimun grade, non-Cryo versions. Installed them this morning and have been listening for last 5 hours straight…and call me really impressed! I was already a fan of the way my system sounded, but these tubes were instantly more engaging, with a fuller sound to them. As others described, it’s all about the mid-range with these guys…fuller, more presence but still very clear and defined, never crossing into muddy territory. The second thing I noticed is that the bass hits harder and with more snap thru my KEF Blade Two’s than before. I’ve recently moved toward wanting a more enjoyable, fun-to-listen to sound from my system (my former speakers could be too analytical/revealing) and these tubes certainly are another step toward that, while not losing any perceptive amount of detail as before. As for the Upscale Audio buying experience, it’s definitely two thumbs up…great service, advice and very fast shipping. Thanks, Kevin and company!”

“Works as advertised! Using this tube for MassDrop Cavalli CTH Hybrid amp I bought a few years back and if I am hearing correctly (not an audio professional) slightly cleaner than stock tube.”
