“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!”

“We audiophiles are a persnickety bunch & those of us running tube gear even more so. It is a relief to be able to rely upon Upscale Audio as trusted source of tubes, especially given the current geopolitical difficulties and supply chain isssues. Prompt shipping & fair pricing: Thank you, Kevin”

“These tubes make music listening fun! I used them in my Decware Torii MKV and am really enjoying what I hear. I previously used Tung Sol KT-66 tubes. In comparison the Gold Lion KT-77s are a lot more open, introduce a touch more distortion than the KT-66 tubes but also are generally more lively. Lows and mid’s are more forward, also the highs seem clearer. My tube equipment further upstream is definitely darker (think Mullard NOS small signal tubes in the pre and phono stage equipment). These tubes are a very good compliment as I think the highs are a little more pronounced as well as compared to the KT-66s that presented more muted highs. The sound stage is also bigger. I do think that my KT-66 tubes were more 3D, but I’m hoping for more of that from the KT-77 tubes after more break in. All in all great tube, excellent quick shipping from Kevin and gang! Feeling pretty confident in my choice of tube and dealer!”
