| Have any VAC owners tried any KT-88's YES- Svetlana(AKA Winged 'C'/SED St Petersburg)) has been making KT88s since(AT LEAST) 1999. I was using their EL34s in my ST-70, over 16 years ago. | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? Whatever you end up with, load it with NOS Mullard, Brimar, or Genelex tubes, and you should have all the sumptuous warmth your little heart desires. If your equipment takes any 6SN7's: Try either RCA black plates, or National Union(both VT-231's)... | |

| Black Gate caps Taiwan(China or anyone else) has NEVER(yet) manufactured ANYTHING that can compare to the Rubycon Black Gates, in sound OR technology. We(modders) lost a valuable resource when they discontinued the line. Read: (http://www.acoustic-dimension.com/b... | |
