PSVANE Discussion & Impressions Thread

I think the price is dictated from the amount of tubes that are rejected in order to have the desired spec, and to lesser degree based on materials used.

Certainly not comparable to the cable makers absurd way of pricing.

In your case the criterion would be simply what kind of sound you want from your Elekit.

If it is precision and solid state type of presentation, you should go for Acme/Summit

If you want a more "romantic" sound go for Horizon/Legend series (which in my opinion would suite your amp the best) 

yes i think it is about reject rate more than construction cost

kinda tells you what you are getting when you buy from random retailers on ebay or ali express -- by definition you are getting the crap that didn't make the cut at the factory inspection station

That's 100% correct, don't buy from any random retailer, there is no way of knowing the quality of the tube.

Usually Chinese retailers on Aliexrpess, have B grade stock that presumably is for the domestic Chinese market.

I would go buy directly from Psvane factory online store.

I recently picked up a cheap el34 amp and really like it so far but interested in upgrading it.  The first set of el34 tubes I put in are the Horizon series. Looking to get a more tubey sound and the Ray Select el34’s peak my interest. Any of the Psvane lines offer more tubey experience than the Horizons? Any comparisons to the Ray Select?

Has anyone had a chance to compare the Summit series tubes to Ray Reserve tubes?
