“The only bad part of this tube was it’s price, I wish I could’ve gotten more of them. I hope you find some more Kevin because it’ll be hard to find a replacement tube for these”

“I dropped a pair of these into my Primaluna HP integrated (gain tube slots). There was a noticeable upgrade from the Gold Lion reissues I had in those slots originally, and as they burn in more, I am noticing steady improvement in the sense of space in the music. Recommended.”

“First things first: I love my PrimaLuna EVO300 and the stock PL 12AU7s, no question, but these Cifte 12AU7s are beautiful. They opened a soundstage that I never imagined. I listen to a vast variety of music early to current Swans, to Tori Amos, to Brutus, but lately I've started purchasing jazz. This is where these beauties shine: listening to Ole Coltrane and Kind of Blues was such an unexpected pleasure. The Ciftes opened up the music, allowed me to hear 'things' I had not previously heard. Well worth the money. Next up: a pair of Philips 5R4GYS for my upcoming EVO DAC!”

“Very fine tube. Indeed it is quite holographic. As usual Senior Deal is spot on in his description of these high end tubes. These 12AU7's perform very well in my PrimaLuna EVO integrated amplifier. Thank you Kevin !”
