Best PLace To Buy Chinese Tubes?
I would suggest going to the link below and buy two matched pairs. I have never been disappointed by any tubes sourced from Cryoset. I have tried Psvanes in the not to distant past but they got noisy after a half year or so in circuit. http://www.cryoset.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_42&products_id=123&osCsid=0a4o4i7fccbcugftg62g2locn3 |

I'm not one to put a lot of stock in Cryo treated electronics. I'm not an expert but from all that I've read I think the jury is out on the benefits and they do demand a premium price. I am curious, though, if the Psvane tubes that became noisy after only 6 months were power tubes or preamp tubes? My thought in buying Chinese tubes was to get them directly from a Chinese source. The Shuguang Treasure CV181-Z offered by the Tube Store (& others) is an older variation of this tube from what I can see. The Treasure MKII is a newer version. I have not see anything that proves it is better however. I did come across an interesting site via the DHgate site. Vic Audio-Hi-Fi appears to be a Chinese outlet with great prices for Psvane & Shuguang tubes. I'm trying to get more info on them. Sometimes when it's too good to be true, it's just that. Too good to be true! Thanks to you all for the input! |
wcc10 OP I’m not one to put a lot of stock in Cryo treated electronics. I’m not an expert but from all that I’ve read I think the jury is out on the benefits and they do demand a premium price. I am curious, though, if the Psvane tubes that became noisy after only 6 months were power tubes or preamp tubes? The jury is still out? Well, I guess it is in the sense folks who use em tend to like em and the naysayers claim it’s bogus. So, what else is new? Besides, if someone buys a cryo’d tube how could he possibly know what the difference is? He has nothing to compare it to. Additionally Cryo is not expensive. About $1 per tube if you employ a Cryo lab yourself. If someone pays an exorbitant price who’s fault is that? |
