I couldn't wait to listen to this "fire bottle." And, the results are in... These tubes are freak'ing FANTASTIC! My amp and ears love these. Much more bass projection than the stock Yaqin tubes. I also notice an increase in the mid-bass and mid-range. Simply delicious. I almost pulled the trigger on the Genelex KT77's, but decided to go with these because I have heard so many good things about these beauties. Kevin and company will match up a set for you, no problem. Go with these. I am VERY pleased with this purchase.

I have about 150 hours on these tubes, purchased as two matched pair sets from Upscale Audio, along with a pair of 12AU7 and 12AX7 matched tubes for my integrated amplifier........... To say that they blew away the cheap Chinese tubes shipped with my amp would be a major understatement! The detail, dimensionality, tone, imaging and headroom coming from all of the Tung Sol matched sets isso musical and inviting..........I am no longer listening to music ---- I am experiencing it! Could you buy more expensive tubes? Sure, but I was able to do the entire tube replacement of the four sets for under $300, and the sound difference went way beyond my expectations...... Thanks Kevin and Upscale Audio, I will keep coming back!

Wonderful w NOS Mullard in My primaluna Proloque One Preamp section. Excellent Detail Imaging and Lasting > 500 Hours My wife said Highs were terrific; she doesn't Howl when I Play something Tinny. Super for small room 12 by 16 feet w vinyl LP12 and Ittok tone arm and Benz wood body.

This is a power tube with an open and smooth sound. The top end is there with an ease about it. Very good mid bass as well as bass. Some might like a little more sparkle and air in the treble region yet I personally don't feel like I'm missing anything.
