    Their tubes are very good. Right now I'm trying the only other new tubes I would buy, the Gold Lions. Their KT77s are burning in nicely, but I'd love to compare them directly to the Treasure 6CA7.

    What was wrong with your transaction(s)? Also, are you refering to Upscale Audio or Brent Jesse?

    Greg

    "Upscale" audio. Brent Jesse's site it a wealth of tube knowledge. As far as Upscale like I said before.


    "bought my PrimaLunas from there and every time I would ask about trying tube A or B in it since its "a tube rollers dreams" and he says if you brake it your screwed." Not really a tube rollers dream if you want to try different things and are told "no even though that is drop in replacement you can't use it."
    If life had more tubes it would be a lot smoother.

    I will probably get them, it's just a matter of where.

    Actually, just order 4 matched pairs from Upscale. I like their testing procedures.
