Best KT88 available. Durable, longlasting, and the sonics are, after a low 50 hour break-in 98% of real GEC. ATSI has some of the last ones on Earth, if you're serious get 'em NOW. They are $300 a quad... You might want to consider Tung Sol 6550-- no other tube comes close in this price range, though. They achieve what the JJ and Svetlana seem to be aiming for; midrange depth and texture w/o any glossing over of detail, and smooth, detailed (but not crisp like a 6550) treble. The JJ and Svetlana are good, but lack the detail and microdynamics, as well as the true 3d image of the Tesla. I have a quad w/ the copper base and I love them. I'm not sure if they are $200 better than a quad of Shuguang/ Valve Art KT88s if you are on a budget... but if you can afford them, get 'em. The next best alternative is the Svetlana. Chris
