Linlai KT88 experience?

Really appreciate the transparency and thoroughness of it, including what was heard and seen after DI recording it, isolated tracks, etc.

I bought the KT88D and the tube just exploded! On the same amplifier I use JJ and Psvane without problems. What's worse is that the seller Tokban Audio refused to resolve the issue. It may happen that they sell a defective valve, but serious sellers solve the problem, but this one simply refused. It was the first and last time I buy Linlai. I have several Shuguang, Psvane and other Chinese brands. All quality. Linlai, on the other hand, disappointed me. It is important to note that on the official website of the brand they do not sell KT88. Would that be the reason?

Buy from a reputable dealer like Grant Fidelity

Yes, there are many Linlai labeled fakes on aliexpress.
