Hey porcheracer,
I just picked up a Sachs Kootenay amp on the used market. It has Shuguang Golden Voice KT-88's which were Don's tube of choice on previous versions. He now recommends and supplies his amp standard with the Shuguang KT-88-T's which he feels are the best current choice. Did your amp come with the T's or did you purchase them separately? If purchased after the fact may I ask from which source?
Apparently a number of sources are backordered on the Shuguang KT-88-T so Don is going to try these out;

Should be interesting to see how they work out.
