Psvane tubes may sound very good but they don't last. With your 101D, I had three failures in a year and each replacement tube was more expensive than the one it replaced. No more Psvane in my house.

Thanks for the info.

Are the dimensions of the 845 within the tolerance of the RCA spec?

Will they fit in standard 845 bayonet sockets?

Hi Psvane, can you tell us the hierarchy of your tube line — I see classic, horizon, art, and acme? And some prior lines too, what new line replaced what older line (series)?

Hi Tam,

We sincerely apologize for the poor experience you had with the 101D.
In the past, our after-sales policy was not very efficient, so we have decided to focus our future retail efforts on official sales through Amazon.
This will help us ensure better service quality.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi, thank you for your inquiry.

For audio vacuum tubes, the hierarchy of our product line is as follows:
Basic：HIFI、UK
Selected：HORIZON、ART
Premium：WE、ACME

The HORIZON Series is our latest line, featuring a more neutral sound compared to the Art Series and incorporating the latest technologies, such as HPC coating.
The WE Series pays homage to the classic Western Electric sound.
The A Series is our true flagship, offering a neutral and well-rounded sound profile.

Currently, the H Series and A Series are the only lines sold directly by us on Amazon.
All other series are sold by other distributors.

PS: The Classic series products you mentioned are not only used in the audio market but also in the musical instruments and other markets.
One reason PSVANE offers so many series is that we provide vacuum tubes for various markets and applications.
Of course, our most important market is the audio sector.

Hi！
In addition to retail, PSVANE also manufactures vacuum tubes for many audio and musical instrument brands worldwide.
Due to the differences in performance and application requirements for each brand, these products cannot be directly compared to our retail offerings.

Additionally, we have confidentiality obligations to our OEM clients, so I regret that I cannot provide you with a precise answer to this question.

Thanks for this info. Is there a Horizon CV181? I recently received a pair of “classic” CV181 which are very clear and detailed but maybe just a little bright, or maybe better to say they seem like, if describing a photoshop picture a little too much “unsharp” filter — like slightly too much sharpness. I hope I am making sense(!) I love the detail but could be a bit smoother.

In terms of lasting, my set of Psvane Acme 2A3 tubes (one pair) were purchased in 2019 and are still going strong in my Cary 2A3 Signature amps. These are my main power amps for my system. Larry

Yes, the Horizon series does have a CV181. I understand what you mean.

The Horizon CV181 is even clearer and has much better depth and layering compared to the Classic series.
