In Reply to: RE: KT88/6550 suggestions +1 more GL posted by Nunki on March 27, 2017 at 10:46:40
Thanks for the heads up Nunki. In what way do the Pentas beat the GL and Mullards in your opinion?
Follow Ups:
well, in MY gear (rogue audio ATLAS MAGNUM) the pentas sound crispy, fast and lifelike. great even for classic music.
previously i tested KT88 brands like GL(reissue), JJs, Sovtek, Treasure Z, Svetlana winged C, Psvane KT88 T-Mk II, Ei KT90, TS KT120 etc.
the Tresure Z is a great KT88 too but finally i sticked with the pentas. they do nothing wrong.

"How the fuck did our oil come under their sand?"
The PentaLabs run is over, now sold by the tubestore.com as the Prefered Series KT88. Even come with a 6 month warranty. Dougs tubes also has them under the "Ruby" name I believe.
This is the "best" currently manufactured KT88 on the market.
Ruby isn't listing the KT88SC (KT88V-STR) on their site at present, so I wonder if Doug's Tubes is only selling remaining stock purchased from Ruby.
The TubeStore apparently has them as its Preferred Series KT88.
That is something I calculate into tube choices. If, for example, one tube fails in the first few months, do you want to find out that you can't get them anymore?
the Rubys have holes in the anode plate. the penta SC have solid plates and definitely no holes!
"How the fuck did our oil come under their sand?"
Doug's Tubes stocks two versions of the Ruby tube, the KT88-STR, which is the Shuguang Kt88-98, three holes and the KT88V-STR which have the solid plates and is his current substitute for the Penta KT88SC.
The Ruby KT88V-STR solid plate is supposedly the same tube, the Preferred Series, that Tubestore sells.
