KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's

I recently aquired a set of mini's and am looking for sugestions on tubes. Of what I have tried so far I have found I like the sovtek 6L6's. Upscale recommended the EHkt88 for a clean,dry, less warm sound, since I think that is the direction I am going in. What would you guys recommend that you have tried, what would you not recommend? Thanks, Matt

From what people here and elsewhere have said, it seems there is a strong following in the el34 crowd. I have a set of older brown base el34 tesla's, some svetlana el34's, and some sovtek 6l6, and I tried the chinese kt88 (didn't care for). Of these I have tried to truly figure out the differences, not just what my expectations may have been. Instead of just kt88 responces, what have you guys heard that you liked in mini's?? I have a guy offering a set of Ei kt90's, any thoughts on them?

Chinese in the Linestage preamp made all the diference, I cound't care less if they were green or square, the chinese ones Mike sends them out with sounded best to me. I just didn't care for the particular chinese kt88 I tried. Although with no brand markings, i couldn't tell you what they were :)
