PSVANE - Let’s Talk All Things about Vacuum Tubes

[PSVANE]

@PSVANE

Hi, I just purchased a pair of Psvane Horizon 12au7-AT and a pair of 12ax7-AT from your Amazon store, now I'm waiting for the goods to arrive. I'm planning to change my front tubes on my Muzishare X7 Amp that is currently running on stock tubes for almost a year. After doing some research and watching quite a few reviews on YouTube, I've decided to make these purchases.

I'm also planning on changing my current power tubes with the Psvane Horizon KT88-AT tubes you are selling on Amazon. While doing my research, I found a very similar looking Psvane tube with model number KT88-PT tubes. May I know are these KT88-PT tubes similar to the Horizon KT88-AT tubes? If not, what are their differences in terms of quality and sound signature? Thanks you in advance for answering.

KT88PT is part of our HIFI series, positioned as an entry-level product below the HORIZON series. The most notable technical difference is the absence of the HPC coating. The burn-in time is 12 hours less than that of the H series, and in terms of sound quality, the detail and layering are not as refined as the HORIZON KT88.

Thank you for your prompt response and clarification. I'm also considering the KT88-T3 Art series. Could you help me understand the difference between the KT88-T3 vs the KT88-AT in terms of build quality as well as sound signature? I'd need a quad matched set when I get them. Where can I get the KT88-T3 if I eventually decides to get them? I can't find them on Amazon. Thanks for your reply in advance.

You can check out our distributor GDparts’ store. The main difference is that the Art series provides a warmer sound.

Hi Florian,

This is our Hifi series 12Bh7, a product we’ve been selling for many years. Are you looking for advice on burning in the tubes? If so, the 12Bh7 doesn’t require any special burn-in process, just keep the volume at a moderate level for the first 30 hours.

We have also recently launched the Horizon series 12BH7, which you might want to check out.

Thank you for your fast reply !

I wanted to know, if you have any recommendations for upgrading the stock tubes
Now I know about the Horizon 12BH7 and I definitely will check them out.

Do you have any Ideas for the other tubes as well?

Maybe you can try our horizon CV181 tubes in your equipment.

Hi @PSVANE

Is the Art 6SN7 T3 considered your best 6SN7 right now? And I noticed you mentioned GD Parts, is this the AliExpress vendor here?

Hi @PSVANE

Yes, the Art 6SN7 T3 is currently considered our best 6SN7 tube. As for GD Parts, it is indeed an AliExpress vendor, but purchasing directly from our official website（psvane.co） is a great choice. We ensure the tubes undergo matching tests and provide warranty service.

So GD parts isn't your official distribution route?

You wrote the below earlier in this thread which is why I was asking about GD Parts. Sounds like they are a grey market seller?

Hello:

I have purchased 4 PSVANE EL34 PH tubes, I have not received them yet; but I have read in some forum that they have had some reliability problems and this worries me...

On the other hand, I would like to know the differences in sound between the EL34 PH and the ACME KT88???

Thank you: Victor

May I ask which channel you purchased from? If it was from our official store (psvane.co), we sincerely apologize as we are currently on a break for the Chinese Lunar New Year. We will begin processing and shipping orders after we resume work on February 5th.

Thank you for your patience!

I must say, choosing the EL34PH is a truly tasteful decision. It is one of the finest products we have ever made, offering an almost perfect reproduction of the legendary Philips EL34 metal base in terms of sound. Its quality is quite solid—provided there are no issues during transportation.

As for the ACME KT88, its sound characteristics are relatively neutral, with clear layering, excellent dynamics, and a strong yet flexible presentation.
