“The tubes arrived quickly and were installed in my PrimaLuna DiaLogue Integrated amp. At first (as expected) they were a bit "rambunctious" - but they settled in nicely after several hours of use. Currently with just under 100 hours of use, they sound wonderful: good measure of punch in the bass, and quite warm in the mids and highs. I had been using KT-88's, which have become quite a bit more expensive and difficult to source. The Tung-Sol EL34B's offer very pleasing sound at a lower price. I am quite happy with them.”

“These are excellent tubes. I’ve been swapping against the kt150 and it’s a toss up based on trade offs. Voices and intimacy go to the 34s. Scale and air to the 150s, but they both boogie on the bottom end in my PL HP integrated.”

“I’ve rolled several different tubes in my Primaluna Integrated amp including the stock EL34’s, Mullard EL 34’s, Gold Lion KT 88’s, KT 120’s, and KT 150’s, all with various combinations of input tubes. They all sound significantly different from one another and I like all of them to varying degrees. But I must say overall I prefer the Tung-sol el 34’s paired with gold Lion 12AU7’ input tubes, which provides a fantastic combination of nice detail without the slightest bit of listener fatigue, midrange magic, impressive dynamics, tight bass, and a very natural treble range with nice air. I’ll try the Gold Lion KT 77’s next but until then, these are the front runners.”

“I own the Primaluna Dialogue Premium integrated amp, I had the Golden Lion KT88'S and I personally thought they sounded a bit harsh through my system. I purchased the Tung Sol EL 34b and was very pleased with the difference. System sounds lush and silky Sound stage improved, just as wide as the KT88'S but the EL34b gave better depth and separation They're still breaking in and I like them a lot Reccomend Upscale Audio has it together Fast shipping and great help and support”
