“Four of these replaced the stock anonymous Chinese KT88's on my amp. The Lions immediately widened and heightened soundstage and added more tonal realism. Detail, dynamics, crisper transients - all the good stuff was suddenly better defined. By that I mean I had a better idea of the definition of those terms because I could hear more deeply into my music and could better mate the terminology with experience. I have been audiophiling (my wife calls it "audiophilandering") for only a year or so and having immense fun with it. I would consider the Lions a notable exclamation point in my journey and education so far.”

“Just received them today. Out of the boxes and into the PrimaLuna Prologue Classic - immediate expansion. I had been running the stock PrimaLuna EL34s for the whole four years I’ve had the unit. Wow - these tubes are like magic! The bass went through the floor and the mids became much more apparent. Overall, I’m thrilled with the KT88s outright! Thanks!”

“Awesome tubes. Definitely improved the sound to my liking. Went from KT120 tubes (thin Mid-range), to the Gold Lion KT88 tubes. Fast shipping. Pre burn in, matched quad. Dead steady bias. Very happy and will definitely recommend and purchase from again!”

“They perform exceptionally well and deliver the fidelity I was hoping to hear out of my preamp. Nice to hear the lower frequency tones along with with a balanced mid and high range.”
