Great sharing as always! Had this X7 for 2 years + and had it tube rolled to NOS 6550 Svetlana, reissued Goldlion rectifier, and NOS Brimar 12AX7 and 12AU7. Whether I tube roll or not, X7 is a game ender for me. It puts a smile on my face everytime I listen to music with it. Would be good to buy this from a local distributor in case there’s any functional or cosmetic issues.

Great review... I have been tube rolling with the X7 and find that the best combination of tubes is using all Gold Lion tubes, the Gold Lion KT-88, Gold Lion B749, B759 (compatible 12AU7/12AX7 tubes) and the Gold Lion rectifier 5AR4 tubes. I have tried the Apos Ray 12AU7/ Psvane 12AU7 Art, Mullard 12AU7/12AX7 along with the Psvane KT88-T MK II, Psvane KT88-Z Treasure series, Svetlana 6550C power tubes and found the Gold Lions to be superb... The system provides great detail, clarity and a true sense of 3-D Holographic imaging. I upgraded the stock capacitors with Mundorf Silver Gold Oil for even better sound. I have both this Muzishare X7 and the Willsenton R8 amplifiers. The Muzishare has the Willsenton beat in sound quality and imaging. The Willsenton R8 IMHO is a better looking amp but has some irritating issues such as an overly sensitive volume control and it always starts up in triode mode and with input 1. The only advantage is that the Willsenton can use EL34 tubes which sound warmer than the KT-88 tubes (but the X7 can use EL34 tubes if biased correctly). System: Muzishare X7 Integrated Tube Amplifier (with Gold Lion KT-88, Gold Lion B749, Gold Lion B759 and Gold Lion 5AR4 tubes), Polk R700 Floor-standing speakers, Oppo BD-95 Optical Player, WORLDS BEST CABLES 8 Foot Ultimate - 7 AWG - Ultra-Pure OFC and WORLDS BEST CABLE Mogami 2497 interconnects.

Great review, thank you. I have owned an X7 for over a year now and can totally agree with your statements. Every listening session is an enjoyable occasion and i absolutely love it!

Great to hear!

I got off the hi fi merry go round about 10 years ago, but this amplifier is calling out to me, thanks. I guess.

Wow what a beautiful tube amp 👍 putting this one on my short list have always wanted an affordable but yet high end sounding one for awhile. Great review 👍🔊

Very nice review! Thanks for sharing.

I just ordered and received this X7 a few days ago. It sounded great with a pair of Polk L200 Bookshelves. Ultimately though I was hearing humming and the right channel had like a fan propeller sound. Swapped out tubes and the sound was still there. Also had volume pot scratchiness sound when adjusting and it came through the speakers. Wasn't trying to deoxit something brand new. I sent it back unfortunately.

Thanks for share!

Very good sounding system/amp!

Nice review! I have a bit older version that does not have XLR input still has upgraded caps. I like ultralinear more but I don't use stock tubes and rectifier. I use solid state rectifier to remove sag. Quietest driver tubes I have found is TAD E82CC. You can change all the front tubes for it. This is amp is also crazy good for electrostatic headphones with the energizer.

I have had my Muzishare x 7 for two years and have really enjoyed using it. Are there better tube amps for more money? Yes. For the price, it delivers and might even punch a little above its weight. I have rolled the tubes Kt88 tubes with some KT88z tubes and noticed a slight bump up in performance. I like using the VU meters as a scale to set the bias for each tube. Like most tube amps, it can get hot on your shelf. Give it some space to do its thing. The phono stage is average and it would be beneficial to add a dedicated phono stage in the chain. I haven't had any technical issues with it and the thought of where I would take it for repairs is a concern. I rolled the dice and have been lucky so far. I think it's a great choice for the music lover who wants to set up a little from entry level gear and get in to tube amps without selling a kidney.

I had one and if it still uses the dark metallic blue finish it is beautiful.

All Watts aren't built to the same standard! Meaning, valve watts are real watts of power. Valves still sound much more powerful than solid state at the same power rating. It is the oldest technology for sound, but still the best as far as sq. Thanks for your review.

@ChicagoRob2

100% agree. My 35-watt Cary sounded more powerful than my 60-watt Yamaha. Tubes can swing a lot more voltage and are more linear within their range.

Was seriously considering Muzishare (sure looks close to Primaluna's) but worried about after sale support as I am not aware of any dealers in the USA. So went another direction....

Put it on some Heresy IV’s and see how it sounds. Amazing I bet I out a 2800w ( peak) subwoofer to my Wilsenton R8 setup . Holy smokes

Great review! Thanks. I have tried to find the artist in your demo without luck. Did you say Wong Sang.?? I am looking into a local dealer for the X7 now.!!

Yes Artist I mentioned is Woongsan She's Korean Jazz singer, Album name is "I'm Alright". Demo song is "Walk Around Downtown by Cheryl Wheeler" but I don't think it's available to buy in digital format, Thank you.

Have it on my radar since some time . But I have read from more than one that there are issues with sound bleeding when more sources are connected and issues with humming etc . So I think I rather go for a Line Magnetic component and pay a bit more .

Great review. Had my eye on the X7 since it came out years ago. Out of curiosity how much break in time did you give it? The manufacturer says 100 hours which seems a bit high.

@burkhardhalfmann9539

i recommend to look at the impedance over frequency. with every tube amp you will have loudness gains at impedance maxima und loudness drops at impedance minima of the speakers. You can measure impedance with Arta Box for instance and design your own impedancy correction and connect it in parallel to the speaker input terminals. the impedance maxima arround the bass resonant frequency cannot be compensated, but the impedance maxima at the crossover frequency and the rising impedance of the tweeter at high frequencies due to the voice coil inductance. I have my X7 (with XLR inputs) since November 2022. I love it!!!!
