Antonio, I agree with your assessment: the Gold Lion just plain sing! "Natural" and 3d indeed!
Music is just so much more... substantial ... than with any of the EL34 I've used and at least as pleasing as the JJKT-77.
And burn in seems to be taking less time than (for example) the current production Mullard EL34, which just had a "steely" sound for nearly 40 hours. I'm still waiting (hoping?) for a bit more bottom to kick in. The Gold Lion have all the clarity of the EH 6ca7 I've been using for the past several months, but are less "sterile" - seeming to add a bit of "soul" that the EH lacked.
The Gold Lion are a real winner for me, and not having to fret about reliability (as I came to with the JJ) just makes them even more of a pleasure!
