PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread

You should try the Psvane Art series 12au7s for your Octave preamp. As we both have the same pre, Octave Jubilee, I have experimented with many NOS, including the original JAN, Siemens, and RFTs that Octave specs with the Jubilee. I find the Art series in the Octave Jubilee to be great all around tubes. They do need some good hours for break in, approximately 20-30 hours or so. I use all the same specs for all 4 spots in the Octave Jubilee, including the selected position. While NOS may sound good, sourcing them and reliability issues are detractors to me when I want to listen to music without any disruptions due to tube failure. 
 

I tried Psvane EL34-Ph. Nice, but not bright enough for my Auris Nirvana. Is there another choice within the Psvane catalog that has more prominent treble extension?

Here is a new YouTube review of the Psvane Horizon tubes.

I’ll have a short review, once I get them burned in. 12AT7 & 12AX7 in my phono stage and CV181/6SN7 in my DAC. So far very nice...

Thank you for your recognition! Looking forward to your review.

Just ordered an Art Series 12Au7 to try out in my Unison Research Triode 25. I felt that the Art Series might be a better choice for me than the new Horizon series based on my subjective listening preferences.

Not looking forward to the burn in process. My Psvane EL34 UK's seemed to take a very long time to burn in (at least 50 hours and very possibly double that-it was a bit hard for me to tell as I was dealing with a cartridge breaking in at exactly the same time). But I have been extremely happy with the EL34 UK's. 

I'm actually very happy with my setup at the moment so will be curious as to whether the ART 12AU7 will result in an improvement. 

Will post back impressions in a few months.
