“Of the current new production KT88s these are the best according to my ears. A large sound stage, tight deep bass, and smooth mids and highs. The highs are very different from the harsh highs of the Chinese tubes”

“Just popped in a quad with cryo in my PL300 integrated, soundstage immediately wider and bass more prominent. Top end a little harsh, but i only have 20 minutes on them. That'll settle in. Super fast delivery. Didn't expect anything else.”

“They look and sound great in my PrimaLuna Int Amp I did notice a slight burning / smoldering paper smell which is now starting to go away I was told by your Customer Service this is normal burn in activity You may want to mention this fact as it can be a little concerning in the beginning Best Regards Jim Robinson”

“Quite pleased with the Gold Lion KT88 Power Tubes. I have them in a couple 80W amps and they are very full sounding! I listen to quite a bit of bop and hardbop Jazz as well as Blues Rock. These tubes seem to have a lot of lower end and Midrange that I didn't hear with the previous tubes (Psvanne I believe). Great recommendation by Shawn at Upscale. Shawn has never steered me wrong and his wealth of knowledge is terrific.”
