GREAT power tubes for my budget-friendly little MP-301 Mk 3 amplifier when paired with either W.E./JAN/ Raytheon 717A's or RCA 5693 "Red Can's" up front. When powering my vintage DCM Time Window 1A's or La Scala 1's, these G.L. KT-88's have noticeably more depth and "meat-on-the-bone" than the Sino 6L6 tubes supplied with this amp, regardless of volume level or the preamp tubes employed. These are the charactaristics which seemed to carry through. Love em!

Great sounding tubes from a first rate retailer who takes the time to match the tubes. What more could you ask for?

Best power tubes I've had in my Cayin CS-55A. Very good balance top to bottom. Thanks to Upscale Audio for caring these at a fair price and standing behind the products you sell. Dare I say it, Kevin is the real Deal when it comes to tubes.

These tubes add that little something extra to my Primaluna and Sonos Faber Amati Futura system. Several people have commented without prompting how the music stands out and grabs the listener. A slight bit less warm that EL84's...

Back to KT88s after 4 months on stock EL34s. These KT88s along with Brimars up front in my PLEVO300i, my kids and I feel this is the best combo for us.
