In Reply to: Electro-Harmonix KT88 reliability getting worse? posted by Mike D on April 21, 2006 at 10:41:44:
I have been running 2 matched quads of EH KT-88 for three+ years. I always was very happy with the audio performance. Over that time, 3 failed due to spectacular internal shorts which also took out cathode resistors. 2 recently went "red plate" simultaneously. Since I DIY, fixing the amps has only been a mild headache, so far. My EH vendor has been very good about replacing failed tubes.I am presently running one matched quad of Penta Labs KT-88SC in one of my amps to see how those perform. Sound so far is very good.

- Yes, but probing around could make you "go to plate" - Chris O 06:37:41 04/22/06 (1)
