what is the best Kt88 to get

I have had good luck with Gold Lion.  I can't even tell you how old the ones I'm using are....they are a back up quad and they still match very closely.   I have had other type GL like 66 and 77 and they didn't last nearly as long 

I just received a Cary SLI-80 amp. It has (2) Genalex Gold Lion tubes with a mixed quad. They have “brown ringlet”circles on them? Why?

can I risk damaging my amp by purchasing (2) more to make (4) KT88 GL quad?

I don’t have a tube tester. Does it matter?

I have a Cary Bias meter. Thanks

I was tried deferent tube in my Prima Luna  HP.

Until I purchase KR-KT 88. I'll never look back!

      No risk there.     Just be certain that the two new tubes are matched with one another, plugged into the same channel and properly biased.
