So far I am very pleased with my purchase. I am still a newbie to building guitar tube amps and this is the first KT88 I have tried but I am very pleased with the sound so far. Ordering was simple, it shipped quickly and the price is great.

I purchased a matched quad KT88 for my prima Luna prologue premium amp and they sound GREAT. These tubes really woke this amp up!! Fast shipping and a quality product.

They biased up easily and were quite solid. The sound seems great though I have not done critical listening to make a more profound judgment.
Barry (verified owner) –
The EH tubes they replaces were biased for 35ma. The new tubes came in at over 75ma and I had to bias them down. Honestly I am not sure if that was good or bad. One could argue that the gain was higher or lower depending on how you look at it. In any case they sound fine and no problems. If I had a tube curve tracer I might be able to analyze them more.

Exactly as expected. Very good. Thank you.

These NessTone KT88’s are awesome!!! They’re really beautiful looking tubes and sound even better. Very powerful bass, fluid midrange and sweet highs. I’m afraid my power tube rolling days may have come to an end. However, I’m sure the time will come when I’ll have to roll in my second favorite power tubes, the NessTone EL34’s.

I have a new quad of Nesstone KT88s. I must say they’re just as good as the Gold Lion KT88s that have now be religated to backup tubes. Outstanding deal!

Biased up last night. These sound great and are matched very closely. Will definitely buy more when the time comes.

Good tube for the price. There are better KT88/6550 tubes out there but they will cost twice as much. Note that the glass is slightly tilted from the base if the tubes are used in a hifi amp, but they are out of sight in a guitar amp so it doesn’t matter.

Truly an audiophile bargain. The tubes play as well as tubes 4 times the amount. Amazing 3-D sound stage in every region of my speakers portrayal of the music. These KT88 tubes sound the best that I’ve experienced through my VAC Super Avatar integrated amplifier and First Sound Presence MkIII Tube pre-amplifier. In a word, the presentation is stunning! Based on this experience, I will be purchasing preamplifier and other tube varieties in the future. Thank you for these wonderful tubes.

I just got them installed and they sound good already. Might deserve a 5 but too early to tell.

Not the best sounding kt88, but really not bad at all. It is, however, one of the best looking tubes around. Chromed base looks awesome.
