PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread

I have used PSVane tubes for two amplifiers, both in preamp and power sections. They are very good quality. It is a big advantage to be able to get matched sets easily rather than relying on NOS suppliers where matching and even availability are uncertain.

@alightronics 

Hello,

The seller says the tubes in preamp only had a couple hundred hours on them and the hour meter in the preamp confirmed it. He also said that the other four tubes were new. When the first tube started clicking, I swapped the left and right tubes and the clicking switched sides. Over the next couple weeks, the same thing happened with five of the six tubes. The preamp originally came with Gold Lion’s, so I ordered a pair and they have been working just fine for four months now.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Jim

@benanders

psvane is an offshoot of shushuang, and their stuff doesnt resemble tj fullmusic.

that was linlai and northern electric relabel and rebrand leftover tj full music.

@alightronics demand appears to be quite strong. tube manufacturers can barely keep up with demand, and both linlai and psvane are new manufacturers. 

i have  a few questions my friend:

what province and city is your facility?
do you manufacture tubes for rebrand by "apos ray" as well? some of their tubes bear a strong resemblance to psvane. 
do you manufacture tubes for rebrand? by whom?
 

"@benanders Your information is correct, and your understanding of the costs is accurate as well.😁

With fewer manufacturers, the price of upstream raw materials has increased due to reduced demand, which has also led to higher production costs for us."

"In my opinion, I believe the EL34-UK has a full and natural sound with powerful bass, so your initial choice was excellent!"


@alightronics  this tube does have an excellent reputation. is it durable enough to use in marshall JCM800 amplifier?
i think the art series 12AX7 is quite good, as well.

@chenry  only 2 of the main 3 NOS tube dealers are in business, but there is no undertainty about matching and availbility with andy or brent jessee. 

there are a next-tier sellers where theres no undertainty about quality. 

there are plenty of reputable person-to-person sellers where qualirty carries no uncertainty as well. 

availability? yeah. the current feeding frenzy has driven a few formerly-common tubes into near-extinction. 

happy listening!

Hi Jim,

May I kindly ask if you have already tried contacting the dealer for after-sales service?

If you are unable to receive support from the dealer within the warranty period, I would be happy to assist you in resolving any issues.

@chenry 

Thank you for your appreciation of our products!

To make purchasing and after-sales service more convenient for our customers, we have opened an official store on Amazon. This ensures a better and more reliable shopping experience for everyone.

@benanders 

I can state with full responsibility that although we are both based in Changsha, HuNan province. PSVANE has no relationship with Shuguang at all.

PSVANE is a completely independent vacuum tube brand and factory, and we have been established for over ten years. We produce approximately 1.6 million vacuum tubes annually and employ over 300 staffs.

Regarding TJ FULLMUSIC: I can disclose that a few years ago, we acquired some of the assets of TJ FULLMUSIC in Tianjin, China. 

Additionally, as far as I know, Shuguang is entirely a state-owned enterprise in China, and at this level, we cannot have any relationship with Shuguang.😉

@cey Thank you for your kind words. 😄

I kindly suggest that you may try our newly launched HORIZON series 12AX7.

@alightronics 

As I have said before, I bought the preamp used. The original tubes that came with the preamp were Gold Lions and are supposed to last 2000-4000 hours.

The new tubes that were in it were12au7’, PSVANE and the new tubes in the boxes were PSVANE boxes with VivaTube sticker on one side. Because I don’t have any documentation, I never called VivaTube.

Thanks again for your help.

@alightronics 

I forgot to say that I purchased the preamp from an individual, not a company.

Jim

"no relationship with Shuguang at all?, @alightronics? doesnt your own press state psvane was founded by ex-Shuguang  personnel? 

@alightronics  is el34-UK durable enough to use in marshall JCM800 amplifier?
 

I would like to hear feedback form folks who have compared the 12AU7 Art Vs Horizon series. And I hope this is their personal experience and not their friend's or brother's uncle's friend, etc.

If the new Psvane comes 80% or more close to NOS sound from highly regarded brands, then I would look forward to getting them in the future.

@curiousjim I recommend contacting VIVA TUBES to inquire about their after-sales support. If it doesn't work, I am very pleased to assist you directly. And if you have any questions regarding PSVANE or vacuum tubes, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time.

@cey Starting a business after leaving a company does not mean there will be any connection with the previous employer. PSVANE is entirely independent in its production lines, R&D, and personnel. It has no ties to Shuguang in terms of operations, management, technology, or finances.

@milpai I am also very much looking forward to customers sharing their personal experiences.😊

i understand clearly. 

please avoid answering basic customer question no longer, @alightronics.

please answer.

1. YES or NO, psvane was founded or co-founded by ex-Shuguang personnel?

2. YES or NO, is el34-UK durable enough to use in marshall JCM800 amplifier?

or will it fail prematurely?

thank you

@cey 

1-YES，was independently found  by ex-peraonel. 
2-YES, and the EL34UK is a great match for the Marshall JCM800.

thank you, @alightronics. 

I'm a Psvane FanBoy 😎.  I have quite a few of their tubes.  Always sound excellent and never any problems.

Didn't know they had a new "Horizon" tube?  I'll have to try them.

I sure recommend the brand...

@mofimadness 

Thank you for your continuous support of PSVANE.
Yes, the Horizon series is our latest release.
This groundbreaking series is crafted to deliver "premium sound at an affordable price" to all our customers.

To achieve this, we’ve introduced the innovative HPC-T and HPC-X anode coating technologies, alongside new high-density ceramic tube base materials. We’ve also reinforced the internal structures in our mini tubes to ensure exceptional durability.

Every HORIZON series product undergoes rigorous quality control and burn-in testing to guarantee unmatched stability and reliability.

to be clear, @alightronics 


you do or do not have KT66? 

if not, will u manufacture a kt66 or do you plan to?

@cey 

No, we do not have KT66.

And there are no plans for manufacture within the next year either.
