  1. Koray’s description is right on the dot. This is a very fine tube, with no weak spots to put your finger on. Nice, organic sound, with great authority and bass, great presence and dynamics, and a smooth and detailed top with just a bit of sparkle. For the money, it’s a no-brainer.

  3. I did not know what tube to put in the phase inverter of my amp, a very good advice of Koray, with the Matsushita Ecc83 in V1, a great duet. Thanks and the service is perfect.
