Title says it all ... I have my preferences for 6L6 and EL34 but havent had a chance to try many KT88s . Anyone compare different brands such as Gold Lion , JJ , EH , Chinese ...etc etc ? Thanks for any info !

It's the unfortunate truth with many if not all of the new production tubes today. I would always recommend looking for good used vintage power and pre tubes, that's all I've used for 15 years and the only tube failures I've had were 2 pre tubes, Chinese Bs from 89.exo-metal":1iiusgty said:Hey, it's not a negative comment. I, like many who play heavy stuff prefer kt88s that in the past impressed those who have actually played killer, high end and beautiful sounding kt88s but it's just not worth it when they just don't hold up.
Least some retailers have a 6 month warranty now... better than nothing, right?exo-metal":1ef3dets said:Hey, it's not a negative comment.

I've got Gold Lion 88's in my Shiva 20th also .... love them !I splashed for the Gold Lion 88s.
Been in my 20thA Sheevs now for 2 years and they're still crushing, punchy, potent and beautiful. Highly recommended.
