I'm extremely happy with the KT-88 Genelex Gold Lion reissue. I've had them for about 6 months. They're great tubes, top to bottom. My amp is a Music Reference RM-200. Solid bass, mellifluous midrange, excellent on up, very nice all around. They're a big step up from the stock tubes (branded RAM but I believe they were fairly generic chinese tubes). I don't think you can go wrong with them. Jim McShane is a good guy, btw, and knows his tubes. Triode Electronics. Or any number of places sell factory matched quads. Jim McS's matching may be more precise than the factory matching.
Need Kt88s Genelex? or Shuguang?
I'm looking to upgrade my Winged-C KT88s in my McIntosh MC275 and keep them as back-up. I was tending toward the Genelex which some recommend highly but have also read several reliability problem reviews. The Shuguang sound competitive.
Any suggestions? Which are more reliable? Which sound best?
Thanks.
