If you like the Shuguang, you should try the Psvane CV181-TII tubes.
Shuguang Black Treasure CV181-Z
I feel compelled to post here, having just replaced a stock Electro-Harmonix 6SN7 with a Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z this morning in my Blue Circle DAR integrated.
Good lord.
Probably the best $120 I have spent on my system. Massively improved sound staging, instrument separation, timbral accuracy...even power in the low end.
I'm actually kind of giddy sitting here listening. I knew things would get better, but this has been a revelation. YMMV, of course, but boy howdy...

I have several pairs of the Shuguang CV181-Z, the Shuguang CV181-T and the Psvane CV181-TII. I prefer the Shuguang CV181-"Z" in everything I’ve tried so far. Best 6SN7 out there, IHMO. I found the "T" series to be just a tad to bright for my tastes. Most listeners would say they had more detail, but to my ears, that also means brighter. I also really like the Sophia Electric 6SN7. Info on the difference between the two companies: http://psvanetube.com/wordpress/who-is-psvane/ Look at these new limited edition 6SN7 tubes! I might have to try a pair of these babies: http://psvanetube.com/wordpress/store/products/treasure-globe-6sn7-se-pair-gf-limited-special-editio... |
