“My setup is a Prima Luna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated Amplifier, Bluenode 2i streamer, Focal 926 speakers with the Gold Lion K88’s as power tubes. The Tungsrams are pure in their representation of frequency, meaning the base is tight, the midrange is liquid and open, the highs are perfect. I describe the highs as a cymbal strike sounds exactly that and not tssssssssssss. Those of you with bright speakers know what i am describing. The sound is expansive from top to bottom. Kevin describes these tubes as having a glorious sound and i agree. Each frequency is perfectly represented. Buy them while you can!”

“They are bit smoother and richer…. possibly more dynamic. Please forgive me for saying this but I think they are more “analog-like”. They are worth the extra money.”

“My absoulute favorite tube for my Primaluna Prologue 3 preamp and Primaluna prologue 5 amp! I've rolled many tubes, and these give me the best combination of a huge soundstage, liquidity midband, and amazing, AMAZING, bass tones! I pair them with the Tungsram 12ax7s in both units, and they have outclassed many more expensive NOS tubes. I only waited as long as I could go write this review because I don't want the price to increase! But I have 3 sets for my new coming Primaluna HP integrated! So I'm set and the word is out!! Thanks as always Kevin!!”

“Tons of detail and inner nuance. Great with systems that are a bit cool or gear that's absolutely neutral. Will warm up and flesh out with unequaled authority. Huge soundstage.”
