New Sophia Kt88

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I'm on the Sophia electric mailing list and have had the full music carbon plate on my want list for a while. When they announced that they were coming out with a new kt88 I assumed they were blowing out their old carbon plate models so I jumped for a quad. I was surprised when I opened the boxes and they appeared similar to the sovtek/tungsol kt88. I plugged them in a right away they struck me as smooth sounding. I have been running psvanne mk2 kt88's and out of the box these are a little less extended on top. I would say they are in between the black treasure and the psvanne as far as laid back vs forward sounding. Bass is good, but I think the psvanne has a touch more bass definition. I am running the Randall Museum DIY pp kt88 amps. I have two sets, one with edcor iron and one with heyboer. Price was 400$for the quad.
