No, we do not have KT66.

And there are no plans for manufacture within the next year either.

Is there a webpage that differentiates the differences across all series of Psvane tubes? I am sure there are a lot of people interested in what the new series has and why is it better than the any previous series that it’s replacing. If if is not replacing a previous series, then how does the new Horizon fit into the marketing to attract us as customers? I see data points concerning filament design; however, what does that mean to us as customers? Does the Horizon take some technology form the reference Psvane Treasure series? Really, want to see what are the differences in categories so that we can depict what we are getting. I have used the Psvane MKII series for years. Where does Horizon fit against the previous MKII series. I can’t find anything on the Internet which gives one an overview of all the Psvane series. Thanks.

Is the Psvane Store on Amazon your store? I'm asking as I am confused by the different sellers/shippers under that store that are reflected depending upon the tube model and Psvane type e.g. Acme

Thank you for your suggestion. Our website is currently being revamped, and the information you’re looking for will be available once the new site launches in September.

Although the information isn’t published on the website yet, I’m happy to answer your questions. 
The hierarchy of our product line is as follows:
Basic:HIFI、UK
Selected:HORIZON、ART
Premium:WE、ACME

The HORIZON Series is our latest line, featuring a more neutral sound compared to the Art Series and incorporating the latest technologies, such as HPC coating.
The WE Series pays homage to the classic Western Electric sound.
The A Series is our true flagship, offering a neutral and well-rounded sound profile.
The main differences between the two series within each level lie in their sound styles.


Regarding the technologies and features of the HORIZON series:

1. Advanced Coating Technologies: The H series uses HPC-T and HPC-X coating technologies, significantly reducing signal distortion, ensuring stable output, and enhancing sound purity.
2. High-Quality Materials: Utilizes high-quality cross-class materials, extending lifespan and improving sound quality.
3. Rigorous Quality Assurance: Each vacuum tube undergoes a burn-in test for at least 24 hours before leaving the factory, ensuring stability and reliability.
4. Minimal Noise: The 12AX7-AT, 12AU7-AT, and 12AT7-AT tubes feature an improved internal structure design and extensive pre-burning process, significantly reducing noise and microphonics, ensuring exceptional performance.

@alightronics,

The ART series is more expensive than the Horizon series.

Does it mean that it is still better than the Horizon - sound-wise?

What about longevity? Which would last longer - ART or HORIZON?
