I have Cayin A88T, mk1 with 16 ohm taps/internal bias.
I switched from 6550 and prefer KT88's. Have you checked your bias?
I bought replacement 6sl7 from Brent Jesse, glad I chose him, he let me return the matched pair I bought and did NOT like the sound of.
6sl7wgt Sylvania military (picked so the would purposely look different than the adjacent and identically sized 6sn7s (that's how I blew one, put it in wrong socket)
he said: break them in for 60 hrs, still no like, return for full refund.
I found and love the sound of 6sl7gt general electric, side getter, cylindrical plates
they sound just like the Cayin originals whatever they are.
I'm still using Cayin 6sn7's
