Default Tour of Upscale Audio

Stopped by Upscale Audio and got the tour from Kevin Deal. Pretty awesome what he's doing for the high end tube world.





















More to come........................

Cook pics. I've bought several pieces of equipment from Kevin along with some replacement tubes for my C220 preamp. Great retailer, really takes care of you. It's too bad they're so far away from me!

So much cool stuff, it was kind of like overload. Kevin is in deep. He has probably forgotten more than most people will ever know about tubes.............

I hope you never need to make an honest return to Kevin. Several years ago mine was painful and costly & I dealt directly with Kevin on my return. He was a jerk!

It's easy for a retailer to take your money, legitimate returns can be when you'll find out who you're really dealing with.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. So much delicious equipment I was salivating and had to wipe the drool of my keyboard :-).

Thanks for sharing all of those kool pics!! I'm still enjoying my SLP-98P F1 that I bought from Kevin, along with some of the tubes in it. Wish I could swing a pair of those CAD211M AE's!!

Are some of those many tubes Kevin's personal stash? Lot's of them don't appear for sale on his website.
