Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

I bought my 101D WE Replica tubes at the Guangzhou HiFi show in December which was their first release. I think we can therefore claim the scoop on these!

There was no risk of getting the wrong pins at the show however. The PSvane guys were very thorough in determining the application before they handed over the tubes.

Charles,
Yes ,how true that is with so many components. We all define perfect differently,and that I think ,is one of the wonderful aspects of high end. I've always believed that "the best sound" is the sound YOU like the best!

Brownsfan,

As Charles has indicated the correct pins are the 300B style which must be specified while ordering.

Although the first batch as described by Rachel may have been comparatively small, I was told by Psvane that they were made by their most experienced employees and passed several tests before making the world debut at the GZ show. ( this is one of the most important shows in China)

More updates on the filament voltage and filament current of the Psvane WE101D/101D-L Replica tubes: - check with your amp manufacturer then please share the answer on forum. This is kind of technical so many users may find it useful.

(the content below is also posted on our tube listing page so before anyone make an order, you can read it first too)

The original Western Electric open plate 101D has spec rating as Filament Voltage 4.15V, Filament current 0.5A. This is DIFFERENT from closed plate Western Electric 101D tubes which is rated Filament Voltage 4.5V and Filament current 1A. Check with your amp manufacturer to make sure that you can use the lower filament voltage / lower filament current as specified in the WE101D/101D-L Replica tubes. Otherwise it may damage the tubes permanently.

If your amp is designed to use 101D tube with filament voltage 4.5V and filament current 1A only, you can use the Psvane HiFi Series 101D without problem, but you cannot use the WE101D/101D-L Replica.

Update on Psvane Replica WE101D/101D-L filament voltage/current:

Just had discussion with Psvane tube factory - they will produce the new commercial batch in Feb 2014 all to filament 4.5V/1A spec then there won't be compatibility issue with all 101D amps.

Please note that the batch sold at Guangzhou audio show is of Filament voltage 4.15V/0.5A - this may not work for some amps at least not with Supratek as I got email confirmation from Mick - Supratek Cabernet has spec 4.5V/1A for 101D tubes.
