PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread

@chrispua you aren't going to get a response as noted on prior page the Op has been suspended by Audiogon 

I have bought a number of Psvane tubes and TBH, I think your claim of matched tubes is a big disappointment. I just bought a pair of expensive ART series 6SL7-T3 for $220 which were supposedly matched and certified at 90mA. One tube measured 69/64 mA and the second tube measured 71/61 mA, a discrepancy of over 15% between triodes, not considered to be a matched tube by industry standards.

I also bought a quad of 6CA7-T3 ART tubes, certified at 35 mA and they ranged between 31-36 mA. I have two quads of Psvane EL34PH and one quad is rated at 29 mA and they ranged between 24-31 mA and the second measured decently.

When I purchased quads of Gold Lions KT88s, they measured between 51-53 mA. A quad of Tung-Sol EL34s measured between 31-32 mA. I was surprised that my OEM Willsenton KT88 tubes (made by Psvane, I believe) measured 42-44 mA.

I have both MaxiMatcher tube testers for your reference. I find that other mfrs/sellers are more diligent with their testing.

I have a question for alightronics.  I own a conrad-johnson MV50 and need to by 4 EL34 tubes.  I have seen PSVane EL34C tubes for sale by a couple of USA based sellers.  I also looked at the PSVane website and EL34-PH tubes show as "out of stock".  What is the best currently available EL34 tube being sold?  Also, is the EL34-PH tube listed in the Legend series your best EL34 version?  Thanks in advance, Alton

@bwilson...Alightronics got suspended from off of here.  No one seems to know why?

"Pretty sure that Audiogon suspended them.  Not sure why???"

Okay, thanks for the information.  This is my first post in about 10 years, hope I can stay here for a while without getting suspended.
