“I was disappointed in the sound of these tubes. They were very thin sounding...severe lack of bass. My amp can run EL34's or KT88's and everyone kept saying the GL KT88's were superior for bass response. The Tung Sol EL34B's which I also purchased here are superior in every aspect over the GL KT88's. Perhaps my amp is just more suited to the EL34's.”

“These are solidly made tubes. They work very well in my amp. I am very happy with them. I was very pleased with the timely service you provided. Thank you. We need more retailers like Upscale Audio.”

“The PrimaLuna Dialogue HP integrated amp is incredible. Tweaking it makes it even more so, everything from upgraded power cords and fuses make a difference with this amp. But swapping out the EL 34s for the KT 88s were another level. Listening to Blue Rondo a la Turk and hearing the metallic sheen of the cymbal being struck, or Diana Krall sing Blue Skies was a treat, and this was out of the box with maybe five hours on the tubes! Can’t wait to get 100 hours on these to see what they can really do!”

“Great buy. Fantastic customer service by Upscale. I get brilliant advice from these guys not just about this purchase but in general. These KT88s gives extra dimension to my recently acquired LM34ia driving ATC SCM11s. Very pleased.”

“EVO 300 power amp. Way better than the KT120's I had in it (and the EL34's too). Solid bass and everything else too. One of the 4 had some microphonic issues - which Upscale immediately sent me a free replacement for. Also ran Dirac with these tubes. Amazing!”
