Dealt with one of your employees Al from Miami he said I was rude I would have to say it was more like him I have talked with all your other associates I've enjoyed it every time I've had to talk with him it was always a struggle and a controversy that being said your tubes are coming back and we are done have a great day.

The Golden Lion 12au7 Gold pins latest version is better than a lot of NOS tubes in my Cronus Magnum 3 250 hours so far...

I upgraded my primaluna amps with Gold lion KT88’s and 12AU7’s purchased from Upscale audio. There site and advise was extremely helpful and I couldn’t be happier with results. It brought new life to my system and the sound quality in my option was better then original. Thanks

For a Cary SLP-94 with recently upgraded coupling capacitors. I was using RCA 12AU7 black plates, which sounded very good, when I read of other SLP-94 users recommending current production Electro-Harmonix 12BH7 tubes (interchangeable with 12AU7 in the Cary). I tried them and was actually surprised at the subtle, but noticeable improvement in overall clarity and midrange depth. Later I saw general recommendations for the Gold Lion re-issued line of tubes for their close approximation of vintage tone qualities. Since new production Gold Lion is part of New Sensor with also makes Electro-Harmonix tubes, thought I’d try the Gold Lion 12AU7s in Upscale Audio’s Platinum grade. These also gave another small, but still noticeable and appreciated change, adding a smoother, richer overall sound. Construction quality is also very impressive.
