Good quality KT88 power tubes?


Any recommendations? My Sovtek quad just went south, and was only so-so to begin with. Has anyone tried the Golden Aeros? The power tube selection seems to be shrinking every time I look (if you're not into 300B's, that is).

I have only tried three different sets - Sovtek, JJ Tesla and Golden Dragon Classic. Of these the JJ Tesla is best, being neutral and dynamic. The Golden Dragons are softer and lacking in dynamics, but very listenable. The Sovtek's are reasonably dynamic but have an irritating sound, akin to a ringing in the upper mids - also lacking in transparency, probably related to the ringing - microphonic?
