Gold Lion KT88's Upgrade


I have a McIntosh 2275 int amp with factory KT88's.
Would Gold lion Kt88's be a better upgrade ?
Thank you

I had Gold lion kt88s in my Rogue Audio m180s, and over time four of them blew up in my amp, one time so bad it took part of my circuit board with it. I liked the sound but will never put these in my amps again. I also ran my amps with Gold lion kt77s without problems, and use Gold lion 12au7s with good results. I dont know if my Rogues drive the tubes harder than the Mac gear, hence the high failure rate.
You have a buy them from Upscale or Jim Mcshane; no issues with their KT88s and they have sold thousands...
Thank you, Doctor!

Hi, Wig. Thank you for inquiring. I'll contact you offline...
In my only outing with 88s I preferred the Black Treasures over the Good Lions but could fully understand why someone else would or could prefer the Good Lions as their signatures were of a different flavor. Enjoy the music
