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).
MArcorin is right. Kevin at upscaleaudio.com is THE tube guy. Hi quality rare tubes. I am using the EI KT90's and they are superb. Smooth, detailed, and great punch. Highly recommended. There's also Genelex but you'll pay quite a bit for em.
The best KT88's I have used over the years are Genelex Gold Lion. They are to KT88 what Western Electric is to 300B. For smoothness and musicality while retaining definition and punch I have heard NOTHING to compare.
Had the Sovteks in a pair of Quicksilvers. Indeed they are not good sounding tubes. Bought a set of Aeros and they are quite an improvement. Reasonable price was a factor also. I am not disappointed in them although I have heard good things about the KT-90 also.
