kt 88 vs kt88

I'll second the Gold Lion recommendation. Changing out the stock tubes in my Audio Space ref. 3.1 integrated with the Gold Lions was a significant improvement. After approx. 100 hrs the change was a major improvement.

I have to jump on the Gold Lion bandwagon.I had EH in my amp and they sounded kind of "sterile"{for lack of a better word).The GL's really mellowed out the glare in the HF and the bass was significantly better in all ways.The midrange is superb.The sound kept improving until about 30-35 hours then it settled out.Remember,this was my experience with my equipment.You may have a totally different experience with yours.I highly recommend you give them a try.If you don't like them,you will have no trouble reselling them.Good luck.

Another vote for Gold Lion.

Is everyone referring to the Gold Lion "re-issues"... or NOS? Big difference in price and availability. Please clarify, as I may be in the market for inexpensive re-issues for my Mac MC275.

No question GL re-issue KT88.
