@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?

I am only interested in 12AU7 and hence my questions above are related to that specific tube.

I just ordered a pair of Psvane 12au7 for my Octave Jubilee preamp.  I currently have Philips ECC80, Philips ECC82, and Gold Lion ECC82’s in my preamp.  I will post my impression.

 

@Audioquest4life, I sent you a PM for personal advice too.

The sound signatures have some differences: the ART series is warmer, while the Horizon series is more neutral and natural. It's similar to the Sennheiser HD600 and HD650. Although the HD650 is more expensive, the biggest difference between them lies in their sound signatures.

In terms of lifespan, the Horizon mini tubes all adopt the latest internal reinforcement structure technology, which indeed results in a longer lifespan.
