I've used Kevin's cryo-treated KT-66's for my single-ended boutique amps for almost two years now. What a glorious power tube! They not only sound amazing, even just one in a single-ended amp is loud enough to fill my church and get my sound guy to tell me to please turn down that magical amp!! They big and as absolutely beautiful looking as they are sounding. Upscale Audio and Gold Lion gives me hope that the vacuum tube industry is alive and well. Thanks Kevin!

Replaced 5881s in a pair of refurbished Quad II mono blocks. Speakers are Spendor SP1s. The 5881s were long in the tooth ... but still sounded pretty good. Or so I thought. These KT66s are a substantial improvement ... especially in terms of dynamics and 'pop'. Bottom end is very good right out of box. I'm very pleased.

These KT66 tubes are excellent. Wider, deeper soundstage. Put new life into my Musical Paradise MP301 III deluxe. Also great service and shipping. Item received very quickly. Highly recommended.

I have tried many new tubes in my power amp and this one is the best by far; sweet sound in addition to great dynamics and bass that is rich and tight and as close to the tightness of the EL34 as I have found.
