Ayon Triton III — KT88 BTSX Tubes? Tube sources?


Can anyone explain what is different/better with the KT88 BTSX tubes that came with the current generation Ayon Audio "Triton III" integrated amp?

...Are those the best tubes for this amp?

Also, I simply can not find an alternative source for the stock KT88 BTSX tubes, I'm sure I will pay the maximum by approaching the dealer, but so far thats my only option for the BTSX tubes.

thanks!

I agree with thuhaile in the response above. The dealer for Ayon is going to try to push you into buying their "fancy" BTSX tubes, which are WAY more money than the standard, affordable Black Treasures. There is a trustworthy seller on E-Bay (Hanshare Electronics), who I have bought from several times and had excellent results with. Spend your money on some good NOS driver and input tubes for it instead! They will improve the sound more than the "fancy" KT88s.
