I want to add my story. .I have a cary sli80 amplifier and picked some kr kt88 tubes up for a good deal one of them failed after only 5 hours of use..I have 2 spares so I replaced the bad tube but I'm having a difficult time keeping the bias set..they seem to have wild swings. Not feeling confident they are going to last long. To bad because they do sound amazing.
Having guarantee issues with KR Audio?
One of my KR Baloon tubes decided to permanently sleep in this morning, so I spoke with Israel Blume of Coincident, and it seems that not only is KR Audio not going to be supplying tubes for amps other than their own any longer; but getting them to honor their 6 month guarantee is also a problem. He cited a case where they said that the tube being returned was "not used properly". Not used properly in a Coincident amp??
The tubes I got through Coincident were purchased in December. DECEMBER! I checked the KR website, and clearly they claim to have a 6 month guarantee.
The best he could do is to offer me a replacement tube he has in stock for $300.00. I'm going to buy it, but man am I steaming.
I just wondered if there are any other KR tube users who wanted to rant.
