Tube change.


Hate to admit I’m at the point where I want to experiment a little but I also want to do my due diligence before making a purchase. I have tubed monoblocks each amp requires 8 kt-88 power tubes. I have read a few positive reviews regarding the Sophia electric kt-88 tubes. Does anyone with tube amplification that requires many power tubes and switched to SE have any helpful info for me?

Is your pre-amplifier tube or solid state? If it has any tubes i recommend focusing on those as they are the beginning of the food chain.

I upgraded older tubes on a preamplifier which had two tubes to Amperex Orange pq red tip. After making this change i did not feel there was a need to change out 16 power tubes on my monos.  these tubes were on the pricey side but a lot cheaper than replacing 16 Power tubes.
