Can’t speak for the Horizon series, but have the Psvane 12au7-s Art series and these are great, the best I tried in my Primaluna gain stage. Tried Gold lion’s, NOS and a few others, and the Psvane suits my hears better. I am thinking of trying this brand for the power tubes as they now have a series the replicate the originals English Mullard. Thanks for sharing your views.

@@PSVANE-officialCan you say when they're going to be available in Germany?

I have the PSVANE Horizon 805 installed in my Willsenton R800i 805 and like them a lot. More open mid and high end and a little less but more detailed bass. Intend to replace the 300b sometimes soon.

Thank you for your purchase and endorsement.❤

I’m a big fan of the Psvane sound. On the warm side of neutral. Euphonic. Quiet. Extended. Just put in a pair of 12Au7 Horizon in the driver section of my Prima Luna Proligue Premium integrated, with Gold Lions in the gain and Psvane EL34 power tubes. So far , I am not disappointed They replaced Brimar NOS. I prefer the Psvane. More open and dynamic without any glare. Dynaudio Excite speakers. Analogue front end. I listen to mostly blues/rock.

Thanks for your review. It’s certainly appreciated. In any of my tubes amps, power tubes are current production, preamp tubes are NOS, although some current production are very nice, and rectifier tubes mostly NOS as well. Power tubes aren’t going to be as sensitive when it comes to general sound character where preamp tubes shape the sound more.

My TA30 has Sophia Electric Aqua Mark II 274 and Shuguang Black Treasures 12au7.

Very Helpful vid. You mentioned a list of forthcoming Psvane Horizon tubes. Can you provide a link to that info?

I have the EVO 100 balanced. As I am just starting "Tube rolling" can you answer two basic points that I cant finde answers to. 1) Will any Single Ended Valve amp ,integrated or power only(I have a pre amp) , class A or class A/B be capable of using the same/most of the varieties of valves as my Prima Luna ?(Pref A/B). 2) 12AX7(p1) have more gain than 12AU7 (p2) if you change valves in an amp is that a relationship you must A) maintain p1>p2 ? B) If you want to change from EL34's to KT88's do you have to choose p1and p2(Regulators) types accordingly. Ps I have finally achieved the levels of clarity we all chase, so the next valves I choose will be for colour rather than a continued percute of clarity, I am not yet ready to try NOS as I prefer to learn what I am looking for first, and I would like to stick to matched quads , at least for now.

The answers to those questions depend on the individual amp. You'll have to ask the manufacturer specifically, if they don't have the information in the manual or on their web site about what tubes are compatible.

I have a Psvane Treasure Mark II 12AU7-T, this is not a good thing.

[@ridirefain6606]

I have used the PSVANE 12Au7 and KT-88 products in my amps. Decent enough but went back to JJ gold pins after a year. Like the fact they are made in Slovakia which currently is a democratic republic, versus communist China. In my gear I also found JJ products to be more reliable and have a lower noise floor. Soley on sonic enjoyment, the best tubes I had in my rig are the New Sensor Gold Lion and Mullard reissues. I tend to avoid them though, albeit New Sensor is US owned they are still Russian made.

[@user-es3hq5zk4e]

measurements please, lowest noise, highest 2nd harmonic % etc...

[@Rockapotamus91]

Psvane is pronounced puh-van

[@Nearest_Neighbor]

That fight is lost. 😁
