Thanks, that's where you bought yours?

Yep took about two weeks

Treasure Globe just arrived - I'll post my impressions compared to the Tung Sol and the JJ soon...

Where did you buy this from and how much was it?

I just ordered these 2 tubes: any comments?

I have this tight now

but from what I'm reading, the top 2 are more high end sounding?

~ What is “high end” sound to you? It can’t be ascertained by reading.
~ I have a pair of the Psvane CV181: to my ears, not bad as “new production” tubes. I have heard more coherent, more realistic sound from “new old stock” such as CBS/Hytron 5692 (a 6SN7 type).

I get them from here - I've purchased 3 so far because I love the way they sound. Good to have backups Price is roughly $200 depending on tax, shipping, etc

Why pay 200 for a tube when you can get it for $59.45 from Here ?
Just asking why, not trying to start a fight.
I do see that one has a gold base the other one has white?
I wonder what the difference is?

I'm so bad at describing sounds and all the clinical stuff. Coming from the New Tung Sol, it sounded immediately cleaner but maybe less full than the Tung Sol. Keep in mind, the Tung Sol has been going about a week.

Just found this thread.

Does anyone with Empyreans have a tube recommendation? So far, I’ve just been using the stock JJs and have a Shuguang Treasure on the way.

I feel the same way. I think tube rolling is very personal. I probably going to get a lot of heat for saying that I personally really like the new Tung-Sol, even more so than many of my NOS, including the USA Tung-Sol and Sylvania VT-231.

I really like the TS too, it’s not the best at everything but among the other new production and NOS tubes I’ve tried it’s the one that gives me the most enjoyment overall.
Plus, it’s quite affordable and readily available.
