Brand New Genalex Gold Lion Reissue KT88 / 6550 Vacuum Tubes - Matched Quad
We only sell factory fresh tubes and NOT seconds as we are an authorized dealer for New Sensor (EHX) and JJThese are as close to the original Genalex KT88s as you could possibly get. Made in Russia by New Sensor (Electro-Harmonix). These look identical to the originals down to the plate structure and boy do they sound it as well! They even have gold plated grids, carbonized screen grids and tri-alloy plates - it really doesn\'t get any better than this. If you are looking for an authentic vintage sound without breaking the bank, look no further!Testing and/or Matching
We test and/or match our tubes by Gm & Plate Current using a state of the art digital Maxi-Matcher tube tester. The Maxi-Matcher simulates a real circuit and tests tubes in real-world conditions. We also check our tubes for other issues like shorts on calibrated and vintage tube testers. We match our tubes +/- 5% with an overall toleranceof 10%.
While we do screen for noise and microphonics, even the best tube testers are quite bad at finding these faults. The only real test is with your ears. We guarantee that our tubes will be free of noise or microphonics but please be aware that there isn\'t a whole lot we can do to ensure your tube won\'t be. To combat this issue, we are quite liberal in accepting returns for these reasons.Shipping
