Yeah, that would help but the ad print doesn't say anything about a IT. Can a triode wired KT88 be properly driven by a 6H30 into A2 without an IT?

" QUICKSILVER SET MONO AMP

The Quicksilver single-ended amplifier uses no global feedback and yet offers lower distortion, wider frequency response and higher damping than standard single-ended designs. The parts list includes polypropylene and foil capacitors, non-inductive wirewound resistors, audio-core chokes and Quicksilver-designed power and output transformers.

As with all Quicksilver amplifiers, many different output tubes may be used. The power bandwidth extends to 20Hz and the 9 watts output has less than 1db of compression. Each output transformer is individually tested and categorized so that each pair of amps will have closely matched output characteristics. The amplifiers are finished in carbide black with nickel chrome transformer covers. The following specifications are provided for reference only. Sound quality performance can only be evaluated by direct comparison in your system.
