Please note that I'm not saying JJ's KT88s are the best - I haven't tried every brand! Just that they're far better than the winged "C" KT88s to my ears!

OK !
On the site "Tube Asylum" I read a lot of comments about KT88 , and a folk named Jim MacShane wrote that Svetlana SED KT88 is a turd !
He much prefers the Electro Harmonics KT88 .

So it will be between the JJ and EH .

Yep - the SED is a turd. I don't usually pan stuff in this way but the guy is not incorrect.

I've never tried the EH ones. If you get those, let me know what you think.

And I'd sure like to have one! (I'd somehow ditch that tribal graphic though)

Welcome to the forum! I don't want to be mean to new visitors, but I have to point out that you just revived a decade-old thread to share that.
