I have tube rolled el 34’s, KT 150’s, KT 120’s, KT 88’s, and the Gold Lion KT 77’s. Though I like all of them to varying degrees for their various sonic signatures, I must say I like the KT 77’s best overall as they beautifully reproduce the entire frequency range in the most detailed, coherent, pleasant, accurate, and addictive way I’ve ever heard. The sound is captivating and draws you into the music in a way the other tubes can’t quit manage. I’ve been an audiophile for many years, and I’ve learned anything that gets your mind off of your system and into the song you’re listening to is the key to satisfaction. The Gold Lion KT 77’s, more than any other tubes I’ve tried, provide the satisfaction we’re all chasing. Give them a try. These tubes allow you to stop listening to your system and they let you enjoy the music itself!

From Electro-Harmonix to the Gold Lion, blew my mind. The highs were crisper and clearer, and the bass was unbelievable, I’m glad I spent the extra for these tubes. Looking forward to purchase the KT88’s down the road.

It's a warranty replacement tube for a brand new one that failed in less than 30 days. Because of the time frame required by the warranty replacement, I inserted the backup set of Sovtek 6550's into the PrimaLuna EVO300 integrated, and they've been there ever since -- I'm surprisingly happy with the 6550's. I'll be replacing them soon with the KT77's, and I'll let you know if everything is okay. I was very happy with the KT77's, but surprised that one failed so very quickly!

I'm really astonished by how very good the Gold Lion KT77's are -- again, I don't know how I ever managed prior to their arrival. My sound quality has enjoyed an enormous increase clarity and musicality, with virtually zero noise! Very highly recommend!

Tube Rolling is fun and finally rolled out my stock EL34s on PrimaLuna with Gold Lion KT77, amazing difference in the sound. Opened up the stage, imaging improved and it's improving every hour that I am playing the amp. Loving the midrange, nuanced bass and better clarity - hearing a few things I never or hardly noticed with earlier tubes. Of course, came in securely and nicely packed & matched. Huge sonic improvement, go for it! Upscale is the place for Tubes!
