I actually have a ton of these tubes in NOS/NIB and used.I forgot all about these.Ever since the Genelex reissue KT66 came to be,it seems everyone is parking their old tubes because the new ones sound identical and they are better in that bases don't come loose where you have to epoxy them.

Mike, that's one hell of a testament to how the new stuff is. Maybe I should pay up sometime and try the Gold Lion offerings. Are the small signal tubes further behind the power ones?
I gave away a lot of stuff back when that I almost wish that I had back. Nothing like that awesome box that you got back but it almost hurts thinking back. Tubes and a lot of carts that were cheap at the time that aren't anymore.
I still prefer the vintage small signal tubes but the new ones have closed the gap dramatically.The Tele smooth plates and the Amperex D getter 12AX7s along with the RCA black plates are still my favorite small tubes.The 12AX7 LPS is one hell of a tube tho.Like capacitor types,mixing vintage and new production tubes really helps a lot.

I have a set of Gold Lion KT66's and KT88's. I OBVIOUSLY don't have what Mike has to compare. But I find both GL's to be excellent tubes and do every thing an output tube should do very well.
Truth be told the GL B759 (12AX7) is just as good, if not better than my RCA long black plates. Don't tell anyone but I like the GL over the RCA.
I'm also using the GL 6922 in my CJ . Sounds excellent as well as being quite rugged. My CJ was eating 6922s at a rate of about every 6-8 months. The GL 6922 has been hanging in there well past 18 months. AND still sounds good.
I also have a GL GZ37 good and again rugged.
OK I'll keep a lid on it.
I like the current GL KT-88s as much as any power tube I am familiar with.
Ditto
