Upscale Audio and Primaluna

@rsf507 I have lurked this site for years and finally joined this year. That makes a troll?

Just means we have a life....just saying.

I called Upscale about some 150 tubes for my AR75SE. Deal made, perfectly matched tubes that now have about 2000 hrs on them. Maybe it was because I called with a very specific item in mind. Maybe it was because he knew the no PL Amp could unseat the AR75. Who knows? But I'll be back in another 2500 hrs or so. 

Who puts 4500 hours on output tubes? That can't be right........

"Who puts 4500 hours on output tubes? That can’t be right......"

You’re right ozzy62!
Who does that?

I probably have 6K hours on some vintage 6l6G RCA’s. PL is driving tubes on the low end of the spectrum. I’ve noticed they're finally starting to sound weird.

My system is good for me, if I mentioned what I had and people ripped it, especially an audio salesman,  wouldn’t say a word, I would ask about specific amp, speakers, have the salesman move, unhook, hookup, any combination I could think of, then again, and so on.  Thank you and just walk out. 
  My speakers were ripped in here a bit, and other forum said they were firewood.  A bit insulted, but didn’t care, I like what I have, and their sound. 
 Putting down something is poor sales, 
    I’ve put things down, sure, but never a friends or family members system. 
   Shop elsewhere......
