“This is revised review. I continued to like the midrange openness, but started to miss bass and height in soundstage. The bass just lacked gravity, weight, and authority. Also, one tube died after short period.”

“I discovered these tubes a few years ago and fell in love, just the perfect EL34 tube to me warm but detailed, smooth but extended, and very "alive" sounding. I use them in a custom PP stereo amp from Deja Vu Audio two tubes per channel putting out 17 class A triode wired watts. My only caveat with these tubes had been quality control and tubes burning out early. This is where Upscale comes in, I had previous been buying these tubes various places, basically wherever I could find the lowest price. Finally I decided to pay a small premium and buy from a vendor with a great reputation. I've had the quad from Uspcale in my amp for 9 months now, I listen heavily easily 6-8 hours per day on average, and the tubes have been flawless, no noise of any kind no blown tubes just sonic bliss. Prior to this quad I would invariably start having issues around the 4-6 month mark. I highly recommend these tubes to anyone and even more highly recommend buying them from Upscale Audio!”

“This is really what tubes and lps are all about in the end,musical bliss and enjoyment! I have Prima Luna's entry level power amp,a Audio by Van Alstine preamp and a $135.00 phono preamp,but these Golden Dragon KT77 put the whole thing together for one Unbelievable system!!!! They replaced a quad of Winged Cs. I have tried several EL34 types before,including NOS German,USSR Army types,ect.Nothing comes close to these. Give them a try,compared to what you paid for your amp,they are a 'drop in the bucket'.”
