“Bought 2 Gold Note 12AT7 from Upscale Audio to upgrade the stock tubes in my LTA MicroZOTL Preamp, complimenting 2 JAN 6SNTGT Kenrad tubes. I've subsequently rolled these tubes with Brimar 12AT7s black plate, for comparison. Prefer the Brimar's in my system, because it has less color on the top end. This said the Gold Note is an excellent tube with great musicality and slam/detail. If you own an LTA MicroZOTL Preamp, Gold Note is a major upgrade to the stock 12AT7's.”

“This was my first time swapping out tubes. The info on your website helped me make an excellent choice. Much improvment over the Stock Mcintosh tubes in my MA352. Better Bass, Midrange and top end. Very Happy with this tube. Fast shipping was the icing on the cake. Thank You Kevin!”

“I’m very pleased with them. I have a McIntosh MA 352 and they opened up the sound over the stock tubes.”

“As with the EL34s, the Upscale Audio website helped narrow down the brand. I've had defective tubes in the past (not from Upscale), so the ability to choose the level of screening really increased my confidence in purchasing.”
