845-T is a drop-in replacement for 845A and 845B, but it is not a clear improvement over 845A, while 845B generally is
.
I cant believe that someone having an amp of such a caliber could write this. The information is misleading and not true.
Ill start from the beginning.
Ive been using Mastersound 845 for three years, power tubes Shuguang 845B. I lost two of them in that period, one after 6 months and another one after two years (was plying 1200-1300 hours a year). After having done my homework Ive decided to try Psvane 845T MkII. The difference between 845B and Psvane 845T is obvious, no need to do ABA listening tests, its obvious and instantly audible.
The thirst thing you notice immediately , Psvane is a cleaner sounding tube, less noise.
Psvane 845T MkII has much better HF extension and is a better resolving tube. You get better detail across the whole frequency range. There is more low level detail, soundstage has more air, more ambience info. Images are more precisely drawn within the soundstage, localization of instruments more stable. 845B images are a bit vague in comparison. Overall Psvane 845T has better clarity, better transparency and slightly improved dynamics.
If thats not an improvement then what is?
