How can I punish this Chinese audio dealer

I ordered three pairs of tubes from him last year.

The dealer used to respond to my e-mail within 2 days with fast shipping.

The Psavne Acme 805 tube went bad after 7 days of use.


But with claim of bad tube, he stopped responding to me at all..

I sent him 6 e-mail within 7 days.


Will Paypal refund be the best way to punish him?

I received Acme 805 tube yesterday.

PSVANE Acme Serie 805 Vacuum Tube High-end tube Be


Please note that both tube are made by same company Psvane.

Cossor valve was league above from stock tube with refined bass and deeper bass.


As soon I replaced Cossor Valve 805 with Acme 805 today, I noticed clear window of transparency and more details.

It seem like I had inserted pre amp since the change was so drastic.

The soundstage got wider with 3-d holographic with clear window.



It had not been burnt yet so it may be possible to change its sound for the next 2 weeks.

But the first impression is very positive.

I will keep you informed of the progress.

I also have pair of NOS United 805 tubes which I had not used yet.

After Acme got fully broken in, I will also compare it with NOS United.

I know this is old thread, but the status quo applies to ANYBODY who wanna buy audio equipment direct from China....

DON’T!!!!!

The China retail culture is NO RETURN NO MATTER WHAT. Once they have your money, that’s the end of it. They could send you a broken light bulb as a pair of WE845 for all they care. You have been forewarned.

If you are among the few brave souls who still think China made decent tubes or audio equipment, at least buy them from American retailers. You gonna overpaid anyway. May as well overpay a little more to our Amercian business too.

(and this is not a Trump supporter talking...)

@shkong78,Vivatubes in MA deals in Psvane tubes. But not sure about this specific tubes you need. You can check with them if they can get them for you. I found Austin at Vivatubes, excellent to deal with and very helpful.

Having a MIA (again) “war-time” President sure didn’t help with that either. Don’t give him a cent either for surrendering without a fight.

NEVER buy direct from China for ANYTHING.  If you don't mind losing money, donate it to your local charity instead.

Sorry for you being scammed.
