Best Overall Value in a KT-88 tube


Just like the topic says. What is the best overal value for a KT-88 tube considering price, reliability, bass, extension, longevity, midrange, and overall tone? Really looking for some education from experienced users of the different available options.

Thanks

Don't know much about KT-88's, but I am loving my Gold Lion KT-77's. I purchased them from tctubes.com, and got a real nice matched quad. The guys at tctubes were a pleasure to work with....you may want to speak with them about their ideas. Happy Listening.
Hey Saygrr............ Nice comments, and I definitely agree with you. To all who may be interested in tubes : tctubes.com is a pleasure to deal with. Now, keep in mind.... I am not a die-hard audiophile,... I am simply a guy who LOVES great sounding music, and my Rogue has definitely been sounding better since I switched to the matched Gold Lion KT-77's from tctubes.com. A few nights ago, I listened to all vinyl.... Jeff Beck's newest LP, Sonny Rollins' Way Out West, Allman Brothers at Filmore East (Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post sides), Dave Brubeck's Time Out, and some old (yet, well preserved) Milt Jackson ... it was a great listening session. Rogue with new tubes, Rega analog front end, and my incredible Vandersteen 1C's .... it's a phenomenal experience. Happy Listening, my friends.
