different strokes ;-)

Michael, can you back this up:
"They all came off the same line but the best testing ones got named gold lion and the test result page and the sealed package.."
with any reference material, or is it just hearsay? A careful look at a few of those "test reports" will surprise you -- they're the same (at least the ones I've seen when I ask ebay sellers to send me a scan). They all state the same min/avg/max numbers for many values (e.g. transconductance) hardly an individual tube report!

You seem a bit rigid in your likes/dislikes if I do say so . . . . . . .
It's the other KT88's, new and old, that sound dry and clinical to me (and I'm not the first person to say so ;-). I even auditioned a quad of the (in)famous EATS, which were excellent indeed, but not $1500 excellent! (I don't know about the NOS TS 6550 blackplates, but I intend to try some if/when I can put together a decent quad.)

Must be my crappy system, huh? ;-)

Neil
