In Reply to: St. Petersburg Winged C 6550 vs. New Sensor Gold Lion KT-88 in Cary SLI-80 Signature posted by petercapo on November 7, 2016 at 14:44:54:
I didn't compare the Svetlanas and GL KT-88 side by side, but my Cary SLI-80 came with Svetlanas Winged-C (labeled Ruby) and sounded marvelous right from the box.
However, influenced by some local (and not) audiophiles' opinions (that ALL vintage tubes sound marginally better in ALL amplifiers, which proved wrong), I started buying NOS TS 6550 and GEC KT-88 tubes, which proved to be a step sideways.
As for the modern GL KT88, I personally am not impressed with them as far as the SLI-80 goes.
I haven't listened to Svetlanas for a long time, but described my overall initial impression above.
