Svetlana KT-88

Hello to all,

i´mlooking to change my KT-88. A german dealer is offering me Svetlana Winged C but old production from the 70´s. Does this exist? I can´t found no information about old Svetlanas KT88, inclusive if i search without writing Winged C.
Does anyone heard about this tubes?

Thank you to all,

Agustin

Be very wary of old power tubes.

If you trust him to be a reputable dealer, then by all means, buy them. I have had the 70's as well as the latest Winged C tubes in my amp and I can tell you beyond a doubt, the older 70's are a much less brittle sounding. BTW, we are talking new tubes and not use. Correct?

Pass on them. Get the 6550 WC if you want that type of tube or Gold Lions are popular. I prefer the sound of the 6550 or the new KT 120's. Jallen

Griffithds,

Yes, they are new!
At the 70's, there name was also Winged C?
What about the sound, any difference with the new Winged C?

Thanks
