Hi, I have a set of Ayon Audio mono's that use KT88 tubes. Over time I've purchased their importers version of the KT88's that are 200 bucks a pop. Can I use a different tube? I think I'm paying premium cash for the Ayon name on the tube.
I would second all positive comments about Jim McShane and the Gold Lion KT-88s. There are some dandy Chinese tubes (top-grade PSVanes & ShuGuangs) that may have a better sound but longevity remains an issue with Asian issues.
