“The Lion KT88 tubes are top-tier among modern tubes. After replacing my McIntosh tubes that came with the MC275, I immediately noticed an enhanced soundstage. The bass became more powerful and pronounced compared to the stock McIntosh tubes. I highly recommend these—they won’t disappoint. Expect ear-to-ear smiles. Enjoy!”

“I purchase this tube for my Cayin HA-6A. The delivery speed and quality from upscale is fantastic. I think this is a great KT88 tube and created a vast sound stage with great dynamics. It did very well with rock and dynamic classical music. I didn’t prefer it to el34 tubes for intimate voice presentations because it tends to balance the frequency spectrum so voices are a touch more recessed in the stage. So depending on what you want to listen to this can be a good or bad thing. For my tastes I favor the el34 but this is an excellent tube and I’m glad to have it to create variety every now and then.”

“Switched my KT 120 for these KT88 and difference is noticable in every range of the musical spetrum. It was a tremendous improvement to all my music, best investment I have made in some time.”

“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!”
