Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis


I have Jadis JA80 with standard EH tubes. Is there anybody who tried to compare KT88 of EAT and NOS. Both are very expensive but what about a sound quality. Is it different or comparable ? Or may no tubes are worth so much

I use an Octet of selected Gold lion reissues in a DA-60. I bought them from Jim Mcshane over on AA tubes asylum classified. These tubes took me by surprise. I told him wht I wanted them to do. He gave a single answer this is it nothing else will be what I like or he likes for that matter. They are simply superb all around, fantastic!
They are expensive for current production but nothing like the EAT. I really don't believe that you can acquire a truly matched octet of never been used 1960s even 70s KT-88s, unless a private collector is willing to part with them. The price I couldn't even guess but the amount will never be printed that is for sure.
