I always keep the Shazam app on my phone close-by to find out the name and artist of all those great songs we hear but don’t know.

Sounds great Mike! I have a suggestion for your videos, if it wouldn't be too much trouble to include the artist and track being played in the description. (I know this one but don't always. ;) ) TIA!

Home for the weekend. The VAC Renaissance V preamp was upgraded to the latest spec and the VAC Renaissance Phono was upgraded to the SE version. 1960’s GoldLion KT88’s in the 200iQ amp.

You still listening to 88's.... maybe I need to hear them? For me, I don't do too well with them in my systems....

I’m a KT150 fan for most speakers, but the delicacy and detail retrieval of these vintage GL KT88’s on the AG’s is something special.

Today I have the KT150’s in. I’ve never been a 120 fan, but may give them a try too. Will eventually roll some 6SN7’s, but I’ve always liked the Stock ones Kevin supplies.

Real Purdy system Mike. Pity I could not make that live demo you offered last year. Hopefully another time.

from the photo, looks like the 6SN7's are the new production tung-sol -- i really like these, very upfront and detailed. amazing how the price of these has doubled in past several years.

anyway, when you get around to rolling 6SN7's -- NOS RCAs are the place to start and end. i find them warmer, rounder but with no loss of detail... just so nice. the red-base as well as the clear glass, black-plate are the two variants to try.

Yes they are and they are quite good. I’ll dig through my tube closet and see what I have. I have NOS Tung-Sol, RCA, Sylvania, etc. I think.

You have probably never tried real Gold Lion KT-88s in your system before. They are simply in another league sonically than any other KT-88 I have ever heard.

Oh I have. I’ve had them for years. I have 6 in total. I just hesitate to use them. They’re just superb. Magical.

I’m going to get some of Eunice’s new KT88’s and 150’s to try.
