an interesting one,
ive just replaced my gec kt88's (quad) with sovtek kt88's. now i know the gec's are supposed to be the holy grail of kt88's and command huge sums but im not hearing a huge drop in the sound,infact the sovteks seem to have a bit more omph to them,there is a subtle difference in clarity in favour of the gec's at the moment but the sovteks need some hours on them.
the price difference is 4 gec's £1000+ and the sovteks were £90!
do different brand power valves really make that much difference to the sound,at the moment i think not.
