Best Overall Value in a KT-88 tube


Just like the topic says. What is the best overal value for a KT-88 tube considering price, reliability, bass, extension, longevity, midrange, and overall tone? Really looking for some education from experienced users of the different available options.

Thanks

Thanks for the responses so far. I plan to buy from Kevin, Dougstubes, Tubestore, or Grant Fidelity-- most likely Kevin. Will be going in Quad II-40's. Distributor requires full retube to upgrade to current specs. I can supply any set of Quads that I like. Not sure that I will have the upgrade performed, but would like to know my options. Amps will be used with Zu Essence. Shuagang Treasures are highly recommended but somewhat expensive at $450/matched quad.

Thanks again for any additional info.
