No argument! When it comes to what will sound best, with what gear, in which room and to whose ears/tastes; the variables are incalculable. When it came to the audio business; I was all about, "The customer always thinks he's right" and catered to (whatever) their tastes.
Svetlana KT-88
Hello to all,
i´mlooking to change my KT-88. A german dealer is offering me Svetlana Winged C but old production from the 70´s. Does this exist? I can´t found no information about old Svetlanas KT88, inclusive if i search without writing Winged C.
Does anyone heard about this tubes?
Thank you to all,
Agustin

Just some general info: There are no SED, Winged =C=, Svetlana tubes, currently in production. I really liked them (bought from Upscale), but- the St Petersburg plant burned down, years ago (along with it’s equipment) and SED closed the doors. New Sensor bought the name (ONLY) and is manufacturing their version in the Sarartov, Russia plant. Some info from a reputable dealer: https://www.thetubestore.com/winged-c-sed-6550c Try contacting known to be honest tube mongers, like the above, Brent Jessee Recording, TC Tubes or Upscale Audio, for knowledgeable info, as to whether they are, "the very same exact tube." An opinion/observation regarding the new version: https://www.tubesandmore.com/comment/2577/report Compare the plate and getter construction, to the above (original Svetlana 6550) pic, here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/PLATINUM-Matched-Quad-4-Svetlana-6550C-tubes-Russia/184570896793?hash=item2...
