Tube Wish

Posted by Eli Duttman on August 26, 1999 at 13:49:49:
Your wish used to be easy to grant. The original MO Valve KT88 did the trick (at least that is the legend). The KT88 production line in England was supposed to be restarted this year with a very high price tag.
NOS MO Valve KT88s can be had, at a high price naturally. 2 other NOS possibilites are: TungSol 6550 (pretty pricey) and GE 6550A. The GEs are available at "reasonable" prices. How good the GE tubes "sound" I can't say.
