what is the best Kt88 to get


 guys- trying a set of Sylvania 6sn7 bad boys now need to know what is the best kt88 to try- my amps came with the Mullard brand- does the KT88 effect the sound as much as the 6sn7's do?- thanks for the rec=

Verbosity is good as hand signals or morse code rarely gets the point across around here. In recent years I tried (mostly in a factory modded Jolida 502P I recently sold...great amp) new version Tung Sol 6550s that were certainly clean, along with Sovtek KT88s (no longer made), and various others like Gold Lion KT88s, KT120s and 150s. When I bought a small SEP Dennis Had amp it came with Gold Lion 88s which are great, and the Sovteks also sound killer in this amp, but I returned to a fave, the KT120s, as somehow they work for me...plus my last quad was used enough to wear 'em out over a couple of years, so I guess I like the sound.
I had a pair of "preferred series" 7025s that didn't sound as good as Gold Lion 12AX7s in my hifi rig, but work fine in a guitar amp. Who knew? I'm happy to share this revelation with others, as hey...I'm a giver.
