Product Description

Shuguang KT88 GEC copy - This tube is made in China and is very dependable, sounds great, and looks even better. A little warmer in the mids compared to the Electro Harmonix, though the SED KT88 would be the warmest. These were at one time a little hard to source here in the U.S., but we've got them in stock now.

Pricing above is for a single tube. Includes matching in any quantity you need at no extra charge.

ATTENTION! We are no longer re-tubing Audio Research VT100 amplifiers. Mk1, Mk2, Mk3... doesn't matter... no exceptions.

All power tubes are Platinum Screened & Tested to the highest standards, including a 72-hour burn in process, and testing at real-world voltages.

  1. Chinese KT88 GEC copy

    Posted by Tom

    Jinvina VNA Kt88-II, Chord Odyssey biwire B&W 704''s, Rega Planet 2000, Signal Cable (Analog 2) with eichman bullets. Jazz is my passion. I have tried two different matched Quads Winged C and EH. The C''s are very detailed and sweet the EH to harsh and bright. The Chinese have excellent tonal quality right through from the top to the bottom with a very lush and rich sound. I have just ordered a second quad to put away for the future. T

    The KT-88 GEC copy tubes sound amazing with lot''s of air and low frequency extension. The tubes are presently triode strapped at 510 Volts on the plates @ 50 ma dc. Prefer these over JJ KT-88, as they perform better than anything else I have used. Upscale Audio standards guarantee that your amp will not suffer. These tubes work, and Upscale Audio test and burn-in standards are really part of the reason why. Among the top tube sellers in the world, Upscale is king.
