My god, these tubes sound so good. I am using it in the preamp position of my rogue CM2 amp. Pleasant, gorgeous, soothing are the words that come to mind to describe the music produced by these tubes. The vocal is the best! Plenty of solid low end and zero harshnesses in the highs. It is the kind of tube you would like to listen to coming back from work on a Friday with a glass of whisky ......

Excellent product. Balanced top to bottom. Give me the tube sound without sacrificing dynamics or detail. I use them in Cary audio SLP-03 pream. I tried the Mullard, it was a bit dark, bass transitions were not as clear, yet the midrange is the Mullard is great. This one is a no brainer. Of note this was my second set as backup in case upscale runs out. This is how much I liked them. System: McIntosh Mc-402 in monoparallel mono block setup, eggleston works Andra original speaker, cardas / synergistic research/ transparent cable. Front end : laptop to marantz sa8005 SACD/Dac running Tidal, and mmf-2 turntable. Of note I use these tubes on my Vincent tube phono pream, the don’t disappoint.

These were awesome in my HP. After more breakin time for new EVO-400 will probably be swapped in. Enjoy the laid back sound.
