Oh, I thought you were posting about the spelling (with or without a space). This is a much better question - I look forward to the answers. Fwiw, I have only used JJ KT88s and have been very happy with them.
Gold Lion KT88 lives up to it's reputation. To compare the lions offer great detail and a smooth silky sound and bass is more controlled. This is a quieter tube. 100+ hrs breakin time.
I would not consider anything else for my Conrad gear.
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.
