I've listened to a lot of tubes in my Little Dot MKIII set up as a preamp for my stereo. With thes, cymbals shimmer (I can even hear when the drummer hits different sized cymbals. Bass is very clear, the tone is letter perfect and well made recordings sound much taller, wider and deeper than the speakers. I've never heard anything like this combo in my life. These Telefunkens with cryogenically treated Electro Harmonix 6H30PI ppower tubes.

I have a bit of experience with tube rolling on the Little Dot MK II, and I mainly use my HD 600's. I've used RCA's, Mullards, Chinese stock tubes, Voshkods, and now these. The best way to describe these tubes is transparent, more on that later. These give a very pleasant listening experience. The Telefunken's manage to give a solid feeling - like it's a body of sound. There's this weird depth to the music. The bass sounds so sweet and the highs are crystal clear. However, I will say these tubes are not forgiving on bad recordings. More times than not I was discovering parts of songs I couldn't hear on the rest of my lineup. I will say out of the box, the tubes seem to lean more towards mid-forward, but not overwhelming, giving some burn in time helps. If I were to rate these tubes: Bass: 19/20 Mids: 17/20 Treble: 20/20 Soundstage: 20/20 Imaging/Fidelity: 20/20 Final Rating: 96/100Read full review

These are within the top few valves of its kind for an audio application. They are as quiet as the best Western Electric valves but with a larger sound stage and very better tonal qualities.
