With 25 years of audio systems, this is my fave ever, and cost wise it is about 1/4 of what I once had in here.

With a full Audioquest loom for cabling (Thunder and Tornado for Power, Gibraltar for Speaker, Colorado IC’s, and a Niagara 1000), and the DirectStream JR dac, I have never in my life had better sound in my home. But the 845’s, for me, made the biggest difference, then the 300B, then the 12ax7.
I also changed the 300B’s, 12AX7’s and have some NOS WE 310A’s on order. These are a perfect match for the 219ia amp as it takes out the softness we can hear with the stock 845’s. Out of the box they sound fantastic, after some use they sound bigger, wider, and just flat out AMAZING. The WE 845’s do offer a tad bit of a “dry” sound but this lasts for about 50 hours, when they open up DRAMATICALLY. While some of that softer organic sound is gone, any hint of darkness or softness has gone. The clarity is up quite a few notches and instruments are now so clearly heard it’s like night and day. The highs have opened up and the bass grew some balls. I will state now, they did not disappoint.Ĭompared to the stock 845’s that come with the amp, these tubes give the amp a quieter background, louder volume (used to listen at 10AM, now its 8AM) and a much much BIGGER sound.
The RCA 845 are HIGHLY regarded in the NOS world, so I had high hopes for these 845 WE tubes. In fact, I have never had an 845 that appeared this beautiful in construction. They are beautiful in construction, style and sound. The “WE” stands for Western Electric and while Western Electric never made an 845 PSVANE says these are more of an RCA 845 replica mixed with some WE flavor. The Psvane WE845 is a hybrid creation by combining the characteristics of both RCA845 and WE284A tubes.
I now have three sets here and what I kept in the 219ia are the PSVANE 845 WE tubes.

By adding new tubes and an Audioquest Thunder Power Cord (which I did first to my DAC and AMP and noticed an immediate energy to the music that wasn’t there before, quite a shock for a PC upgrade) it brought this amp up another 15% in sound quality and magic and presence and intimacy.Īs for tubes, I have tried three sets of 845 tubes ranging from $300 a pair to $800. It took the amp up to a new level in sound, and even volume. I was looking over tubes recently to retube my 219ia, as it can be GREATLY improved with new tubes and a power cord upgrade, and I gave it both. But with a SET amp and highly efficient speakers it is a match made in heaven. Gorgeous LIVE sounding music in my room with an intimacy that is not so easy to obtain. The Line Magnetic is a PERFECT match for the Klipsch Heritage Line, and in my room I have PLENTY of Bass, highs are crisp and imaging is amazing with a nice large soundstage. This is the most enjoyable system I have owned, far surpassing the exotic more costly brands of speaker and even amps. In case you missed it, I now have a Line Magnetic 219ia again (My fave amp ever after retube) along with a PS Audio DirectStream JR DAC and Klipsch Heresey III Speakers.īTW, as of May 25th 2018 I have also added a pair of Klipsch Cornwall III which are even better than the Heresy III. I have been so happy with my system, that I have been focusing on upgrading some of the cabling only which DID bring some improvements. It’s been a while since I have penned a HiFi review.
