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.
GL Re-issues - have them in my Ayon Spirit 2, better all round sound that SED KT88 in this amp
I really like the gold lion re-issues but have been also enjoying the ruby kt88 in my system. I have listened to the VAC, EH, Ruby, Shuguang, and probably a couple that I can't think of right now and the gold lion is hard to beat.

Check the archives, there had been a couple of very thorough and informative posts on kt88 tubes.
