I'm a fellow who mostly enjoys music on CD. I've had a new Rega Saturn CD player for about a year and had been enjoying the music powered by EL34 tubes. The builder of my integrated amp, Lance Cochrane, recommended I switch to KT88 tubes and these Gold Lions are magnificent! The improvement is so very dramatic!

These are for my arc Ref 3 preamp. They replace tubes of the same brand, but these new ones are much quieter thus revealing more low level detail.

Your video led me to purchase this to exchange the EL 34 tubes in my Prima Luna HP Dialogue, for the Gold Lion KT 88s. All I can say is wow!! You were not wrong. I cannot wait for these to get 100 hours on them to really hear them when they bloom. Thank you so much for all you do for us in the listening world.

Wow, right out of the box sounded great. After 100+ hours they have noticeably opened up and have more air around instruments and voices. Exactly what I was looking and hoping for! Thanks Upscale, I love that you take care of your customers so well!

Replaced the stock PrimaLuna EL-34's with the Gold Lion KT-88's on my EVO 300. Changed the stock 12AU7's with Gold Lion 12AU7's at the same time. Gave them the 100 hours of recommended burn-in and added another 100 hours per Sean's recommendation. The results are amazing! Cleaner highs, lower and tighter lows, while maintaining a nice midrange. Also getting a wider and deeper soundstage. Totally worth it to me to make this change! Thank you Sean for your guidance!
