“Installed these in place of the provided tubes in a Backert Labs Rhumba 1.4 preamp. They giva a small but noticeable improvement in sound enloyment when coupled with my Rogue Stereo 100 "dark" power amp and Vandersteen Treo CT speakers. Trebles are a bit smoother and bass stronger. Very pleased.”

“These replaced a pair of NOS Mullard tubes that had needed replacing. Instead of remortgaging the house for NOS Mullards, I tried these. I love them in my Rogue RP-1. I have about 40 hrs on them and they are open and detailed. All the harsh bright sound disappeared after about 20hrs of break in.”

“I recently purchased 4 Gold Lion ECC82/12AU7 for my Rouge RP-5 Pre Amp. The Amp originally came with JJ tubes and sounded good, after a while I installed 4 NOS RFT tubs which sounded better than the JJ's IMO. After reading about the 4 Gold Lion ECC82/12AU7 it sounded like they would be a better match for my system. I was pleasantly surprised with the sound from Gold Lions! Vocals/Midrange sound better with more depth and the sound stage/imaging is fantastic! These Tubes improved the overall performance of my system and for the first time it sounds like it is at peak capability and performance. Can't wait to the sound once they fully burned in. Thank You for insuring I received top quality tubes. Best Regards Byron”

“Gold Lion tubes have a very good frequency response range as well as being very dynamic. Took measurements before and after replacement. Dramatically improved acoustic measurements to deliver almost a flat line from 20 To 20k Hz. Always a first choice for me.”
