“Great tube amplifier. I have it paired with a Arcam AVR11 running vintage KEF Reference 3 tower speakers with the tubes running the mids and highs and arcam running the LF biamped. Used Dirac live to calibrate. Depth and the power it provides is amazing. I just recently put in some KT77 gold lion tubes and I notice it’s a little more brighter but still warm sounding. I couldn’t be happier with the sound of either tube. You can’t go wrong with this amp. My father asked me to leave my home audio to him in my will if I ever do pass before he does. It’s impressive to say the least.”

“I've got about 150 plus burn-in hours on my amp now and it's starting to open up for me... I went from the stock EL34's to the Tungsol ST120's... and now I've got the Tungsol ST150's installed and going strong... the 150's are def superior as Kevin Deal described in the vid's which I thought we very helpful in my decision making... I've since ordered the Brimar 12AU7's and awaiting their arrival... so I'm still in the tube burn-in period but can def notice an improved sound stage with depth and transparency... there's improvement in the bottom end with the ST150's... I'm in the mimalist mode now so just running a pre-amp and CD player front end... I'm very happy with me choice of the PL200 power amp and looking forward to even better performance once it really opens up with burn-in completed... about 200 hours I'm told... happy listening and thanks to the folks at Upscale for making it happen...”

“I was impressed by the design and specs... I watched the videos on the upscale site and was equally impressed by the presentations including the manufacturing/technologies used to design/build the EVO 200 power amp. I was reluctant initially to make the purchase since the amps are built in China, but after communicating with upscale staff and doing my own research I was satisfied with the build quality and use of devices. My amp arrived in a timely manner and was well packed so no worries with shipping/packaging! I've got almost 200 hours of playback using both EL34's and KT120's. While the EL34's provide good solid sound stage, the KT120s provide that detail you expect from a warm sounding tube amp. I hear a defined sound stage with depth and detail... the space between the instruments can be heard as they say... so I'm very pleased with the amp, the price, and the service that upscale provided...”
