Genalex Gold Lion KT88 power valve (single)

$150.00 incl GST

New-production Genalex Gold Lion KT88 beam power tetrode. Ribbed plates, gold pins — the premium current-production KT88. Outstanding Hi-Fi and guitar amp performance. Single valve.

Description

The Genalex Gold Lion KT88 is widely considered the finest current-production KT88 available — a carefully engineered reissue that captures the spirit and sonic excellence of the original British Gold Lion KT88 that GEC manufactured from 1956. With gold-plated pins, ribbed plate construction for improved thermal stability and meticulous factory testing, this valve delivers a performance that justifies its premium position in the market.

Gold Lion’s KT88 is characterised by exceptional authority, a wide dynamic envelope and a tonal refinement — particularly in the treble — that distinguishes it from more prosaic competition. It is a common upgrade choice in PrimaLuna, Audio Research, McIntosh and Willsenton amplifiers, among many others.

Compatible with KT88, KT90, 6550 and related positions. Single valve, tested before dispatch.
