“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.”

“I have considerable experience with British manufactured Gold Lion KT88s. I have been running 2 sets of quads in my refurbished, 56 year old MC275 for the past 20 years. Bought these Russian versions to preserve what's left of the original Gold Lions (Macs are very gentle on tubes.) These new KT88s do not sound the same as the originals but they are close. They are very good and a great value for their price. They are the best of the current alternatives in my amp and I've bought and tried Svetlana 8550cs, Penta branded blue bottle KT88s, Ei KT 90s and 120s. I've never had an issue with anything I've purchased from Upscale. Their merchandise arrives on time, is as advertised and works.”

“Replaced two lesser tubes on my Icon M40 MKIII. The sound is smooth and full and I love it! I'm finally hearing music as I hoped to.”
