EL34 and KT88 are pin compatible?

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Idle curiosity here. I was reading about a Cayin amp, one that takes EL34's and one that takes KT88's. And they are the same amp, they just put in different tubes.

I didn't know you could swap out an EL34 for a KT88?
