RE: New reissue KT88 versus vintage Genelex/Gec KT88

Hi Mikey,
I agree totally. I have only heard them in a Citation II, but when you put them at 80 - 82 mA they are stunningly good. 75 just sounds a bit lifeless. My Citation II's with the level II+ PS generally run about 452 - 458 volts on the plates depending on the wall and PT variations from amp to amp. At 455 v and 82 mA it is sonic heaven! I had a quad of original GEC KT88 tubes go through here with an amp. They all tested strong. I listened. I preferred the sparkle of the new ones and they were more 3-D too. So I agree with you.

cheers,
Don
