Better Than the Treasures

Got the Psvanes. They replaced KT88 treasures and prior to that Pentas and gold lions. There’s just no comparison. If I had to really quantify what I’m hearing I would say the Psvanes just have confidence to sound amazing where as the treasures sound awesome, but polite and demur. in either case the treasures and the Psvanes beat the pants off of the GLs or anything else for that matter.

‘I’ve heard black and I’ll never go back.’

Feedback from customer Wayne:

Hi, Grant Fidelity–

Well, I finally got round to getting my new tubes installed in my MAC 275 this past weekend. Rather than run on at the mouth let me just say this. I’ve heard black and I’ll never go back. WOW!

‘what a nice upgrade’

from customer Mike G. by email:

Hi Rachel,

Wow.  What a nice upgrade.  They only have 8 hours on them and I am blown away by the lack of grain in the midrange, soundstage layering, and bass impact these Treasures have compared to the Genalex reissues.  Its not even close.

Thanks,

Mike G.

‘Now I can concentrate on music instead of equipment’

Feedback provided by email:

Hi Rachel,

I got the tubes Monday afternoon and installed them Tuesday AM. They have about 26 hours on them and sound very, very nice! The Treasures have about 160 hours on them and the combination of the two brands compliment each other very well. The specificty and weight of individual voices or instruments is unbelivable! I sat a few feet away from the sweet spot and the soundstage changed very little! I expected a little more detail but what blows me away is how natural and realistic the soundstage sounds. The air around Triangles and Cymbals and Brushes  is the best I have heard in my home. The Midrange and Bass is also astounding. I have owned some nice equiptment over the years including Watt 3 and Puppys driven by a Classee DR9 amp and DR6A Preamp and numerous Plinius products but this little combo is the best by quite a margin, that I have heard in my home. You would think the Harbeths cost megabucks! I can now concentrate on the misic instead of the equiptment.  I could go on and on but You get my Drift.  Thank you very much!
Best Regards,
David H.
