In the high end audio world, there seems to be no ceiling – in terms of innovation, technology or even price! Psvane has been pumping out high end tubes since their inception back in 2010, and this year, 2018, they have launched ACME Supreme series with the intention to ‘top the tube world, be it NOS or new production’! Let’s find out what is new about this Supreme series – as factory announced:
- 5+ years of R&D poured in to create this Supreme series and world’s first 3D designed tube structure
- Patented hybrid plate design – combination of graphite and mesh material first time used at the same time on high power output tubes (845, 211, 805) to achieve synchronized expansion even at 600 Celsius temperature, high emission capacity, and super stability.
- Overhang filament structure on 300B, 274B, 2A3 model to achieve very airy and high resolution sound reproduction. Vintage style globe shape glass enclosure on these models.
- 5mm diamater larger glass enclosure on 845/211/805 than regular series to allow quick heat dissipation and enhanced stability
- Teflon base with sand blasted aluminum cover – no finger print residual!
- German solder used in pin connection and of course, gold plated!
How do they sound? Here are what factory said after A/B audition by audiophiles at pre-launch:
- ACME Supreme 300B vs. Western Electric 300B (1998 production): “Clarity and transparency are stunningly better on the Supreme series, you can almost touch the singer in the sound stage. Scarily live! For mid range that Western Electric 300B has always been lusted for, ACME Supreme 300B doesn’t lack of any texture, fullness, richness, and tonality. Audiophiles say that ACME wins hands down on depth and width of sound stage comparing to Western Electric 300B (1998 production)! It is of all the classic vintage sound signature – the absolute analog sound! “
- ACME Supreme 845 vs. other 845: “We have never heard a 845 tube with this much inner resolution and details! We all know that compared to smaller output power tubes such as 300B or 2A3, 845 loses some of the inner details but this one is an exception! It is fast, transparent, with super control from high frequency to the low’s! Instruments and vocal reproduction are superbly smooth and layered. Very emotion evoking!”
Intrigued? We have pre-ordered our very first batch and expect to have them delivered to us in November.
As always, we double screen every tube at our Canada facility with state-of-the-art testing equipment before shipping these babies to worldwide audiophiles.
