PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread

I recently purchased Psvane Horizon 12BH7 from Amazon. At $58.99 for a pair, the price was right. They arrived in a lightly bubbled envelope with no additional packaging other than the Psvane boxes they came in. These tubres should not just be shoved into an envelope with nothing else.

The tubes had no visual damage. So far they sound pretty good in a circuit that includes much more expensive tubes. I cannot speak of the Psvane Horizon longevity because they only have a few hours on them

The packaging from Amazon is a big concern though. Mine arrived safely but the next shipment could easily have tubes damaged through poor packaging. Because of this, I will not buy more expensive Psvane tubes like the ACME 274B unless there is better assurance around Amazon packaging. 

The Horizon series is priced low enough so may be worth the risk, but even those should have better packaging.

OMG, I can’t believe Amazon would use an envelope for packaging! According to their original promise, this should have been placed in a box with proper padding. Thank God your items weren’t damaged. Thank you for informing us about this situation. We will seriously look into how to address this in future packaging. If your product gets damaged, please contact Amazon for a return promptly.

For our ACME products sold on Amazon, we ship them directly from China. Before shipping, we ensure they are packaged with sufficient strength and ample padding. Please rest assured.

Got my 12au7’s today. Same bubble bag as above. But they were undamaged. Listening now. They sound great!

Do tubes ‘burn in’? Can’t say I’ve noticed a change in any tube over time, but what do I know.

How do you ensure that since you've stated Saleince isn't part of Psvane  that it is simply another vendor?
