@jbhiller you sure do like them.
I'm still running them in 2 sets of monoblocs since your first recommendation in 2017!

Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular

@noromance , Yes, I do really like these tubes. Many times I'm not so sure or as passionate because there are many fine tubes that don't stand out in any meaningful way for me. These stand out. I've isolated my findings to the power tubes. Even when I roll preamp tubes of different ilk, it is these power tubes that stand out across preamp tubes that I've used with other power tubes. I also like them because they are such a good value in the crazy tube market. With NOS power tubes so scarce and expensive, these are solid value. One thing of big note. One power tube I haven't tried is the GL KT77, which is a shame. I hope to do that soon. |
I meant 7581As in my last post, lest anyone be reading this stuff. The Gold Lion KT77s really are a great tube and until now have been my reference (meaning I left them in my amp as they sounded better than other options) for a year or so...beautiful looking tube, and I recently bought a new set as one tube stopped working...hmm...now that the 7581As are breaking-in (as far as that goes with tubes), they’re already a seriously great sounding tube...wide ranging effortless tone monsters with a cool looking blue glow at the plates...I like that...they’re gonna be around for a while as I bask in the damn things, and at 50 bucks a pair new and tested, there’s simply nothing not to like. |
