In Reply to: RE: Psvane UK, Psvane cossor, ....I'm confused...what's the difference? posted by Iczerman on November 19, 2024 at 13:23:33

Amazon of all places has a large Psvane store now. Psvane is listing four different series/levels with little detailed information. There don't seem to be many reviews or comparisons.
Historically we know some Psvane tubes do sound great but have proven to be somewhat unreliable.

In my case Psvane black treasure KT88 sounded close to vintage GEC KT88's. However I had two fail after ~400 hours and went back to the reissue Gold Lion's.
I'm in the market for a quad of EL34's. I don't want to buy Russian but am unsure of Psvane's quality.

Agree with Mossback. The fancy Chinese tubes like Psvane and Black Treasure always sound good at first. Then they get noisy or fail outright. Has happened too many times to me. I won't spend my money on them anymore.

  They, Psvane, claim their new Horizon line comes with a 1yr warranty when purchased at their new Amazon store. I bought a pair of 12AX7-AT there...if they fail it will be a test of their replacement claim.
