PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread

@perkri Hi！We have just reviewed the after-sales data for this product and found very few issues. It is likely that there was a problem during the transportation of this batch. Regardless, if your product is still within the warranty period, we will assist you with the after-sales service.

@alightronics 

I just bought a used PS Audio preamp that came with three pairs of PSVANE 12au7 Art series tubes. One pair was in the preamp and the other two pair were still in their boxes. All of the tubes were noisy and within a few weeks, 5 out of the six tubes started making clicking noises. There is nothing I can see happening and there I can see wrong with the tubes, but I know that doesn’t mean much.  Anyway, I bought a pair of Gold Lions and they have been working fine for almost four months now.

I had purchased several pairs of Psvane 12ax7-TII from Grant Fidelity with excellent results.

So much so when the Psvane 12ax7 art series came out I ordered 6 from Viva tubes. My preamp uses 4 and I ordered 2 extra. Within 6 months all of the tubes were unusable.

Viva tubes is where mine came from as well.

Sigh

Viva told me they thought it was either new production problems or was caused in shipping.  Of course, there aren't a lot of other possibilities as these are the only new tubes that ever self-destructed in such a short period of time as my preamp is easy on tubes.
