What you should know about Psvane tubes

Psvane Standard Series (red logo)

This is the standard series of tubes for everyday use and should also meet the majority of requirements.

Psvane S-Art High-End Series (gold logo, gold contacts)

The Art-Series was launched in 2020 and is reportedly produced on machines that were taken over from Fullmusic. According to the manufacturer, for these tubes higher quality materials are used, which should lead to a better quality. This series is intended specifically for high-end users.

Psvane itself was created from a spin-off of Shuguang and produces a large part of the tubes on machines which were taken over by Guiguang in 2011.

Tube-Town Rating (August 2021)

In subjective comparison to other preamp tubes from Chinese production, the Psvane preamtubes do sound smoother and less aggressive, which may be due to the somewhat recessed top end. Bass is tight but not obtrusive, even at high overdrive.
The tubes in our test all exhibited very low noise floor and low microphonics.
In the measured values (emission measurement, statically measured), the tested tubes were quite close to the ideal value (e.g. 1.2 mA for 12AX7) and thus belong to the preamp tubes from current production with a relatively high emission. This is of minor importance if the tube is used for voltage amplification (which is certainly the case in 99% of the cases), but there are always customers who prefer preamp tubes with high emission values. The Psvane tubes are likely to appeal in this respect.

TT 12AX7 / ECC83 Classic V1

TT Selection: Balanced
Both systems with balanced gain

The TT12AX7 impresses with its fine and detailed reproduction of the highs, which is maintained even at high amplification levels. Due to a higher H3 part, the TT12AX7 sounds significantly cleaner than many other 12AX7/ECC83 tubes, which makes the bass range appear much tighter. We therefore especially recommend this tube for styles such as clean, crunch, and metal, where high amplification and clear transparency are required.

Transconductance (S): 1.6mA/V
Input capacitance (Cin): 1.6pF
Output capacitance (Cout): 1.6pF

JJ 6V6 Red Labe - PAIR - Double Mica Special Edition

2 tubes, matched as pair

JJ 6V6 Double Mica double-layered mica in the upper part of the tube. This stabilizes the tube system and significantly reduces possible vibrations that can occur due to heavy mechanical stress. This version of the JJ 6V6 was specifically designed for use in combo amplifiers.

The JJ6V6 is a beam power pentode with octal base and a maximum plate dissipation of 14W. It has fat low end and full mid tones with very good tone separation and a smooth, clean high end - in general, a very balanced tone.
Currently, the only new production 6V6 which is approved for up to 500V anode voltage in pentode operation.

EH 7025 (12AX7 / ECC83 HQ)

Electro-Harmonix has released a low noise, low microphonic version of the 12AX7 that meets all specifications required for the tube to be designated 7025. The original 7025 tube was a 12AX7 that was tested and selected for the lowest noise and microphonics for use in the critical first preamp stages of amplifiers where noise and microphonics could be an issue. In order to ensure that the 7025 specification is consistently met, Electro-Harmonix has redesigned the structure of the 12AX7 and has implemented construction techniques to ensure the absolute lowest noise and microphonics possible. In all samples tested, noise and microphonics could not be detected.

The Electro-Harmonix 7025EH has a mid-range that gives clarity and definition to the sound and a smooth top end for warmth and balance. With these characteristics, along with the exceptionally low noise and low microphonics, the Electro-Harmonix 7025EH will work equally well in vintage and modern high-gain guitar amplifiers, as well as sensitive phono preamps.

Sovtek 12AX7 / ECC83 LPS

Very linear working 12AX7 / ECC83 with long anode plates and spiral heating, which makes the tube less sensitive to interference from AC heating.
We recommend this tube for audio and high-end amps as well as for "modern" Fender amps with more overdrive, but also as an input tube in old Marshall JCM800s.

Note: Tubes equipped with long plates are commonly associated with a "warmer" or "richer" sound, whereas those with shorter plates tend to deliver a "tighter sound". However, tubes featuring long plates exhibit increased sensitivity to vibrations and mechanical disturbances, rendering them less ideal for critical applications.
