I think the GEC KT66 is the best sounding audio valve I have ever heard on my system. I should pull out my Quad 11's and get them serviced as I put them away at the same time as the 66's. I see them bringing some serious money on ebay these days, tempted as I have a guy offering me $300.00 for a matched used pair that measure over 70%. That will not be a problem but I just found out that he has about 6 x 1930's RCA spring filament suspension mono plates in his collection, might do a trade with him as I have been looking for a another pair to go with mine.

I know..I just commented on that other day..For the longest time you could pick up NOS/NIB pairs of Genelex/GEC KT88s on ebay for 450usd to 550usd and this was back in Jan to Apr 2016 and now all vintage tubes seem to be on the upswing..It makes me wonder if the New Sensor reissues changed the formula for the KT66 and KT88 because the reissue KT66s are awfully close sonically to the original gray glass..

He sent me pictures of what he has and they are the "H" type 2A3, obviously does not know what he is talking about. Pity as I need 2 more otherwise I will sell what I have. Waste of time holding on to these as I have been looking locally for about 15 years for another pair. With the prices they are fetching I am afraid they are out of my price range.

"2a3-H Indirect heated cathode version of 2A3" http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_2a3h.html6a5s should be easy to find. Same thing but 6.3 volt.

I have 6A3's but the 2A3 mono plate appeals more to me.
Might just stick to the KT88/6550 amp.
