“Had these 18 months, but used sparingly, maybe 200 hours. Used in a Modwright Phono Stage. One tube has failed almost completely, its output level is at about 20% of the other channel. Have swapped in other tubes to verify it's not the amp. Overall, rubbish value for money, about a dollar an hour until useless.”

“I purchased a quad of these for my Blue Circle Audio BC-202 hybrid amp, and I could not be more pleased. Beautifully rich and warm - I measure the strength of a system by the quality of the vocals, and with these tubes voices have never sounded more human. At the same time there is excellent transparency; you can hear deep into the music with plenty of space between instruments and vocals. In fact, these tubes do a far better job of revealing background vocals then the set of Tungsram NOS they replaced. Better on the low end too - bass is full, deep and articulate. However, and the reason for the lateness of this review, it took well over 100 hours for these tubes to really blossom, but when they finally did all I can say is: WOW!”

“it brought a new life to my Audible Illusions 3. At first, the sound was so dead and lifeless but as it warmed up and broke in there was a significant difference in terms of musical coherency. The palpability of the musical instruments is so life-like and precise. Never in my wildest imagination did I expect my AI can deliver more juice simply by replacing my NOS Amperex with the Gold Lion's Kevin's Stash. Thank you so much, guys. You got yourselves another satisfied and happy customer!”

“REPLACED STOCK TUBE (ELECTRO HARMONIX 6922) AND GOT MUCH LOWER NOISE AND MUCH GREATER FIDELITY AND WARMTH. also, the gold lion tube ran cooler than the stock tube I think getting Kevin's stash was worth the extra money and I got Kevin's stash on the next 2 tubes I bought from Upscale.”
