PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread

@facten

The Acme series 805 tubes you see listed as shipped and sold by Psvane Direct are from our official store. For the 211, 300B, 845, 2A3, and 274B tubes, they are shipped and sold by Salience Hi Fi Audio, which also sells genuine Psvane products. 

Our official store ships from China using Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) because the A series products are high-value items. Storing them in large quantities in Amazon warehouses has led to significant damage in the past. To prevent this, we now ship each tube individually from China, ensuring that every tube is tested at the factory before shipping.

The only difference between shipping from China and the US is the delivery time. 
When purchasing Acme tubes on Amazon, customers benefit from Amazon's convenient return and exchange process.

So are the tubes sold by Salience factory tested before shipment? They are the ones selling the preponderance of the Acme lineup

@facten

Salience purchases products from the official PSVANE source. We test the products before shipping them to Salience, but I am not sure if they conduct additional testing before their shipment.

The sound signatures have some differences: the ART series is warmer, while the Horizon series is more neutral and natural.

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

@alightronics, Thank you for the details.

Based on what you mentioned above, it looks like the Horizon is the better series, at least for my requirements.Not sure why anyone would want to buy the ART series tube. Unless they want some warmth in their bright system?

@alightronics

I was wondering if you could help me understand a couple of points?

1. I'm curious what you relationship is with AliExpress?

2. For the 845 Acme matched pairs... are they all matched at 90mA?  Or what do you mean when you say they are matched pairs for these 845 Acme tubes?

Thank you for helping me understand.

Best wishes,

Don
