RE: Shuguang Treasure KT88-Z vs PSVane KT88T with Cary

Yes the Pentas are Chinese tubes.
Apparently not all Chinese tubes are bad. The Pentas have been around a long time, long enough to establish that they are reliable and sound good. Not so the Treasures and Psvanes which have been nothing but trouble for me in the Rogue.
Around so long they may have become extinct. Apparently the Penta run is over and the tube is now branded Prefered Series and some model of Ruby tubes. Claimed to be the same tube as the Penta.
Nunki is right, these Pentas have extended treble (for KT88) and a lot of drive and speed. I really like what I am hearing. The Siemen long plate ECC83 and Sylvania 6SN7W aren't hurting things either of course.
I would try these or the GL first before doling out for the PVs or Treasures.
