I never had a problem with the fan in my 88, I never hear it. It also has plenty of power for my speakers, but yes, the build is a little flimsy. The circuit board should have some more bracing so it does not flex so much when changing a tube. Otherwise it's not really an issue unless for some reason you need to move it around with the cover off.
My problem with the 88 is it's killed off 2 KT-88's within a year and I don't really play it that much. Mark tells me that the Stereo 90's tubes are ran at half the bias of the 88 which will make them last longer, and that's fine with me.
I'm just really wondering if anyone can tell me about the sound differences between the 2 models?
