instantly slightly better sound. More precision without brightness. Replaced the original equipment on Prima Luna Dialogue HP. Original was totally fine. I rolled the power tubes and the improvement on the pre amp tubes was more significant. Satisfied.

I've just listened for a few hours on my rogue sphinx v3, but I liked these a lot. They were replacing some mullards that were finally giving up (noisy, losing top and bottom) after 8 years of use. These have outstanding base and highs, and nice imaging. They are also very quiet. If they last as long as the mullards did, I'll be a happy camper.

After around 20 hr of burn-in I started noticing improvements. Now I have over 100 hr and WOW. Notes and voices have more inner detail, note decay is delicious. Music is more real, instruments and vocals have a more physical position in space. My soundstage is so wide on certain material that it seems there are another pair of speakers at the outer boundaries. I purchased the platinum grade per Kevin's recommendation and am not looking back. Thanks Kevin and your right again, these tubes ARE bitchin.

A little too bright for me and my beryllium tweeters. Bass was nice however.

2 of these tubes replaced the stock JJ's in my Rogue Audio Hydra. Big change, soundstage opened and detail improved. Very happy with these tubes.

Replaced 2 stock PL tubes in my Prologue Prem. Integrated. Great improvement. Better nuance, voices, bass, pretty much better everything. Best $80 I’ve spent. Previous tube rolls were subtle. This is pretty dramatic. All in a good way. The typical Upscale service was just the icing. Just as Kevin has said, Highly recommended.
