Rock’n a pair of these in a Primaluna Preamplifier. Exactly as described by Kevin, Fantastic musical bass. A shout out to Upscale Audio’s shipping department they are the best in the business. I have made several purchases since discovering Upscale Audio. I can order knowing my purchase will be packaged very well to arrive safely.

The stock tubes that came with the preamp were harsh on the high end. The Radiotechnique tubes are more balanced. I have no other frame of reference since this is my first roll.

I used this tube in the gain stage of my Dialogue Premium. After 10 hours I noticed instruments that had a blaring sound quality had become smoother sounding. Before installing these 2 tubes I used the filters on my Chord Quetest DAC or changed to triode mode on the Dialogue Premium to remove the blare. I'm a happy camper. But, if your ears can tolerate some blare in pursuit of reproduction accuracy, there are other choices. One last point, when I first installed these tubes I thought they sounded terrible. So if you're going to take the leap, give them some time before you decide if they provide an improvement.
