I’m disappointed. I have tried these tubes in several combinations and the results have been from no improvement to a very unpleasant treble forward when used with the Tung Sols that I had been running. I don’t know why but they’re out of the system now. Prima Luna Prologue Premium.

Very happy with these tubes. I have a Rouge Audio Sphinx V3 paired with the fantastic Wharfedale Lintons. These are fairly sensitive speakers and one of the stock tubes was making a pronounced hiss/hum--audible over quiet passages. Regardless, I wanted to make sure the replacement tubes were quiet--and these are extremely quiet. What I was not expecting was the pronounced improvement in the overall sound. Just so much better all around--highs, mids, lows, and everything in between. And Upscale Audio had them from California to Michigan in two-days. Great experience all around.

These small signal Gold Lyon tubes are outstanding. Balance, dynamics, great transparency, and imaging. In my system, they do nothing wrong, sound great -

Very detailed, with good extension at both extremes. Voices sound clear and beautiful. Much better than the factory JJ's on Rogue RP-1.

These Gold Lion tubes are amazing. It definitely enhanced the level of detail in the sound of my primaluna. Very satisfied with my purchase.

Tried two of the platinum versions to replace the stock Primaluna tubes. This was my first foray into tube rolling. They sound great! Going to purchase the other two to round out the front. 100.00 bucks well spent.
