Genalex GL KT88 Reissue on Conrad Johnson 12

I am wondering if anyone has had experience with the Gold Lion KT88 on Conrad Johnson Premier 12 or 11 amplifier. Is there any sonic improvement over the stock svetlana 6550 tube, or svetlana kt88 which is what I am currently using.

Also, some ARC owners reported problems with GL KT88 reissue but I do not see similar report from any CJ owners.

Any comments will be appreciated.

This is second hand information, but I've read that about a year ago there was a bad run of GL KT88s and no real issues since.

And the handful of people I know who have tried the reissues has found them to be their favorites of all available KT88s. Some even more so than the originals. FWIW...

I am running these in VAC Avatar Super, I had an inital problem that was unrelated to the tube itself. They have been great since. They are absolutely fantastic sounding tubes.

I am running these on Audiopax Model 88 and find them to be excellent and a noticeable improvement from the Svetlanas that I was previously running.
