845 recommendations from actual experience


'
What 845s do you recommend, and why?

Sound quality, durabilty, price are the obvious considerations. But I'd like to settle on THE one to use with my VIVA Auroras.

Currently still using Sino 845s which is what Amedeo Schembri (designer of the amp) used to recommend.

My Opera 845S monoblocks came with 845B tubes which I always thought sounded very good not having any other reference. After they had done about 2000hrs and still sounding much the same, I swapped them for a pair of matched Psvane 845 Hi-Fi series tubes. I believe these are constructed much the same as the 845-T Collection Series but don't make it to the closer specification required(forgive me if I'm wrong). These new tubes are a condiderable improvement with greater bass control and very clear and dynamic high frequencies. They are worth every $ I paid. Much as I would like to try the 845-T I just can't decide to part with the extra $'s.
