Looking at a Mcintosh 275vi with upgraded gold lion tubes


Do these upgraded tubes sound better then the original tubes? Do they have the same life expectancy.? Or is that an individual preference, or just  steer clear, and look for  275s with Mac. tubes? Welcome your advice .

Thanks for the feedback. So far one pro and one loves gold lions but didn't love them in the 275v. I would be using a stock MC70 tube preamp. With all the tube swapping out there I thought there would be more of a response  to this thread.

Thanks but I'm looking at a seller of two 275vi with upgraded gold lions I'm interested in one of them . Really looking for advice on whether to take a chance on someones upgrades and save 2k or just buy new and know what I'm buying

Klipsch cornwalls iv's with an outstanding MC452. Looking to warm them up with more tube sound. Possibly bi-amp the two
