Reviewer Darryl Lindberg said ” Once fired up, it was clear from the outset that the Psvane EL34PHs produced a more three dimensional/full-bodied, more colorful, and more “organic” or natural sound than the 6CA7s, which I always found powerful and, for lack of a better word, incisive. And by “more colorful,” I’m not talking about surreal, over-saturated technicolor sonics; it’s just more lifelike. I certainly didn’t detect any attenuation at the frequency extremes, supposedly an EL34 downside: the lows were still powerful and well-defined and the highs were extended and sweet.” – read the

“I pre-ordered my EL34 quadtube PSVANE PH metal base replica from Grant Fidelity. If we were to put my customer experience on a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate it 10. Shipping was fast and included everything that was described on the website. It even came in a big and solid box with a foam so that the tubes would arrive securely. The tubes did not even have a scratch on them and were a great liability. My power amp is a Lectron JH50 and the tubes I had at this time were Mullard’s B coded double Halo XF2 made in England. My ancient tubes were still in great conditions and working perfectly. I switched them with my new El34 PSVANE ph metal base replica. After around 50 to 60 hours of listening, I found out that these tubes were really faster than my ancient ones while keeping the same musical quality that I got from my Mullard’s XF2. The EL34 ph metal base is much more transparent, has more bass punch, seems to have a more dynamyc sound spectrum. Each time a song changes flow, by being quieter or louder, the sound still seems alive and going. PSVANE’S Ph metal base replica EL34 gave me the best sound I had in years, even beating my ancient tube. They are clearly the best EL34 I ever put in my power amp and are probably the best new produced EL34 on the market right now. Personally, they are the best I’ve seen and heard.
