Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Looking at new KT88, KT90.

may be your output transformers will mismatch with KT120 and KT90 too. in this case you will be disappointed. both tubes will probably sound muddy, lacking dynamics and punch. i made this experience. in my welter monos, a typical 6550 gear, 120 and 90 sound great, better than every other KT88 but in my octave RE280 Mk2 both types are boring. btw: ocatve now offers the new RE290 which especially is designed for KT90 and KT120 also. (higher plate voltage? modified transformers?).
