mopardave Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just ordered this little Douk KT88 amp. Comes with KT88 psvane tubes. Anyone here know the build or sonic quality of these psvane tubes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 There are different levels from both psvane and shuguang. I've not tried there lower level tubes, but the higher end tubes are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallpoul Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Change to G/L straight, don't look back. And while u're at it change the pre tubes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 They're constructed differently... the ones in that photo are the lower level units. I would say, still run them and get used to the sound. These are the natures: Personally, I've never had much luck with gold lion. There are so many variants and knock offs around who know what you are getting.

I'll run them awhile before I switch. Gonna order from UpScale Audio. Seems like an upscale guy, no pun intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upscale is a great place for tubes. You get what you pay for. I would run the amp for a couple of hundred hours and then roll tubes. The 6h8c is a 6SN7 equivalent and the 5z3p a 5U4G.
