Best KT88's for an Mc 2000 ? Any suggestions


I have a Mc 2000 that uses Kt88's. I can buy a extra set of eight from Mcintosh for 1K or I can shop around. Anyone have good or bad experience with a particular manufacturer. I just want to have some spares on hand for when the inevitable happens.

I have a pair of VAC PA-160 mkII's, individual bias pots for each output valve. According to Kevin Hayes at VAC, matched is not necessary when valves are individually biased. I buy matched sets anyhow, it's an anal thing I guess.
If I'm not mistaken, the VAC kt-88's are from the same factory that Golden Dragons were produced in.
