I purchased these tubes for back up. They are getting harder to find at a reasonable cost. I use them in my PLEVO400IA.

Already wrote a review, and you posted it. Superb 12AU7 tube! Thank you Upscale!

These were a disappointment in my Rogue RP7. One imploded at startup and the other three with a replacement sounded awful. Replaced the set with new gold lions and the sound is amazing. I was really surprised as I have six of these in my Evo 400 power amp and they are sublime. Not a good match with the RP7.

Nice upgrade from JJ tube on my RA Sphinx2. Mids open up and highs has more detail and air. Deep bass. Recommended.

Replaced a set of noisy new production Genalex Gold Lion tubes and these tube sound awesome. Used in a Rogue RP-5

Sweet sounding tube! Lots of detail and great sound stage. Just what I needed to replace the preamp tube on my Rogue Cronus Magnum 3.

Using 2 of these in my old CJ preamp and like them a lot. If it helps, I'm more into timbre than "detail", not that these tubes lack detail.

This was my second order of these tubes - the first pair gave up after more or less continual use. They are the best-sounding NOS tubes I have found for my Rogue Sphinx 2 (with the possible exception of Telefunkens, which are no longer in my price range).
