Hi Peter S,
you are welcome.;
glad to hear you were able to get them. there are some shortages on these tubes now...due to China plants coming back on line after covid.
Agree with your comments, have 3 quad sets of GL 88s; they are nice, but they are really no competition for the WE KT88 Red base tubes.
if you opt for the red base WE 6SN7s, they wont be as big a change as the output valves, but still quite noticeable.
Right now, the Shuguang WE KT88 plus red base are the most organic natural, open and relaxed sounding K88 I have heard, bare none, and I have tried every current and past production KT88.
The PSVANE gray glass KTa88s are good, but the red base WE KT88s are better.
prior to the WE KZZT88 plus I was using the Shugang Nature sound KT88s in my 200. they are nice but a step down from the red base WE KT88s.
As a side note, I also have a VAC Auricle and use the WE 6CA7 plus fat bottles in it. Best sounding EL34/6CA7 I have tried. head and shoulders above anything else.
The boys at Shuguang have really done their homework on these.
