Have any VAC owners tried any KT-88's


other than VAC's? If so can you share your experiences?

I've used Genalex Gold Lion Re-issues in my Avatar Super. I would agree with Tvad that there was not much difference from VAC's stock tubes, though the price is about the same. I found it made a bigger difference changing the tubes in the preamp section of this integrated amp.

I believe the Shuguang tubes are made on the old Genelex manufacturing equipment. I have found them to be excellent sounding if they are selected and matched properly.
In my PA100 I prefer the "Winged C" tubes. When I had the Phi 110, I preferred the VAC tubes.
