When he says they "blow", that means they go can go dead. Not blow up like a bomb. I some extreme cases, any tube can shatter apart, but it is highly unlikely. Normally they just go dead, when they go bad. This is not something to worry about. However, high failure rates of a KT88 could get expensive. Especially when you are running 8 of them, and you want them to be matched. Welcome to high end tube audio. Even more things to buy.
KT 88's....what's the story????
I decided to get the new Antique Sound Lab Hurrican with 8 KT 88's per side. The salesman said that these tubes are one of the best sounding tubes there are, but sometimes blows.
Whats the story? What does he mean by blow?? Is there any real danger (fire?)....what are the results of a damaged tube...besides getting a new tube? Also tell me what you think of the KT 88's.
Thanks Rick
