The jj electronic 7 pin vacuum tube's high-end materials makes sure that it ages well with use. These are pretty much in the middle of the gain spectrum of EL84 tubes. They are loud and clear but definitely show some mechanical noise and rattle. The sound is exactly what you want in an EL84 and the tubes hold up very well. These are pin converters that allow you to safely use EL84's in your amp. The lows stay tight but get deeper, mids smoothly saturate with very dirty blues/classic rock friendly compression, and the chimey highs inspire.
These JJs run much cooler (literally - the whole amp runs significantly cooler), and sound much better. They're low cost, reliable, and rugged. This is a matched set of valves for amplifiers and devices that use 4 in the output stage. This is a great replacement for guitar amps or hi-fi amps.

The douk audio 7 pin vacuum tube's superior materials makes sure that it ages well with use. They sound amazing with the Little Bear pre amp. Compared to the stock, which sounds dark and more bass heavy, the GE Jan sounds clearer with less degradation in the treble area while retaining the warmth. It is a significant improvement in sound compared to the stock 5725 vacuum tubes that come preinstalled in the T9 Pro amp. They definitely have their own sound signature, and they are inexpensive enough to purchase for a change of sound.
Those subtle harmonics being reproduced with such detail and clarity really does evoke a profound sense of drama that somehow affects your whole body and consciousness, in the way it resonates as something you "feel" as much as hear. It is a military upgrade and will provide superior sound to your pre-amp. With the stock tubes the higher frequencies is a little bit saturated, with this GE tubes the highs are more controlled and clean of any distortion.

The fosi audio 7 pin vacuum tube might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year. These Bosch 5654W tubes show you the difference in natural voice reproduction and simple musical. It can work with an aiyima a3 pro tube amplifier. The original tubes have 2 different color markings and if you look at the "S" they are 2 different style fonts. The quality is nearly identical, if only slightly better in terms of the uniformity of the internals, visually speaking.
The upper end of frequencies feel dampened, but this allows the mid range to punch through, bringing out some stereo spatial detailing. It improves the sound quality of an already exceptional amplifier. The tubes are a fantastic upgrade.
Why We Like This:
Sound is well balanced between left and right side, and is very nice
Good quality for phono tube preamp
Great replacement for the chinese and russian rj5p tubes

The Tung-Sol ECC803s is a low noise version of the standard Tung-Sol 12AX. Warm in character with lots of detail, this tube is perfect for any hi-fi or musical instrument amp out there. Compared to Electro-Harmonix, JJ Electronics, and the stock Chinese-manufactured tubes, these just have an unparalleled depth to them.
This tube is such a gorgeous looking tube, and it sounds even better than it looks. It's warmer and mellow sound. The original tube sounds good, and the tungsol performs in clarity, warmth, punch, and detail. The tube is quality made and sounds great. These are some of the best quality tubes you can get for pro-audio.

The electro-harmonix 7 pin vacuum tube is satisfactory and appropriate and fits well with your daily purpose. This gold pin eh is very golden with the amp wide open, not only creamier and warmer but also quieter than the other tubes. It provides high gain with ultra low noise and detailed. The sound of this EH tube changes everything about this amp. It is good for hard rock.

The 7-pin Ge jan 5654W vacuum tubes are a great choice for audiophiles who are looking for an upgrade in sound quality. These are made with a rugged design that can withstand the rigors of everyday use. The 5654W tubes are direct replacements for 7-pin 6J1, 6J1P, 6AK5, EF95, and 403B tubes. They also have a wider frequency response, which allows them to reproduce a wider range of sounds.
The 5654W tubes offer a number of advantages over other types of tubes. They sound OK and have better Soundstage than the China tube that comes with the phone preamp. They also have a long life expectancy, so you can enjoy their great sound for many years to come.

These are splendid sounding preamp tubes. The sound of the Gold Lions is already a significant improvement even with only a couple of hours of break in on them. It reduces oxidation in the socket to add to that features balanced sections and gold plated pins. It will raise the height of the tubes so you can remove the tubes easily. If you want/need hot, these tubes are awesome. It depends on what your looking for, a quiet tube, that is warm or bright, and different brands have different plates long and short.
The product is quality, the sound of the tubes great.
