I bought the Kevin's stash set to get the best possible tubes - at not much more money. They are being used in an Audible Illusions M3B preamp - a tough component on tubes. After about 75 hours, I prefer their sound to the Russian tubes that came with the preamp. More of an open, laid back sound in comparison to the aggressive, dynamic sound of the Russian tubes.

First off, I'm only giving the Tubes 4 stars, because there is always something better, somewhere out there. And even that I would give 4 stars to because I would assume something better than THAT was out there too. Anyway, great tubes for my CAT SL-1 Mark III. Detailed, liquid, extended. I like them a lot! I'm posting this same review on the other tubes I purchased for my preamp, The Gold Lion ECC83. Sweet!

I love these tubes. Less fatiguing and more quiet than the Type 3’s I replaced. Unfortunately the price went up 27% a week or two after I purchased them. I hope Kevin finds a new stash before I need new tubes, as I don’t want to get priced out of sticking with these tubes.
