recommended valves for BEARD P100

[innuendo]

Hi Guys,
Pulled one of the above out from my old stocks and surprised how good it is.
Anyone got any suggestions for best valves,( kt88 I know but which brand ?
The smaller valves are so old and dirty can't even see what types (numbers) they are.

The new "Genalex Gold Lion" Russian made clones of the modern types available. Obviously if you are a rich man then original GEC/Genalex and preferably the Gold Lion ones again.

Thanks Yeah Indeed guess I'll go after The Genalex Gold Lion.
Do you happen to know which models the little ones are?

I've no idea. You would probably find out in a google search. They will last for many years though, it's the output valves that wear quickest.

Original GEC KT88s, or original Gold Lion KT88s, or original General Electric (GE) or Tung-Sol 6550s. Anything other will not be reliable...

The Russian copy Genalex appear to be about the best of the current crop... I obviously recommend the originals but they are silly money.
