Need Kt88s Genelex? or Shuguang?

Thanks for all the advice. Following it I've ordered the Genalex KT88s from Jim McShane and can't wait for them to arrive.
BTW Jim said that there were, in fact, some reliability problems with the Genalex tubes but that they were limited to about 2% bad tubes from a single, earlier production run.

I think you'll be very happy with the Genelex tubes.

Jgiacalo, please keep me posted on the new GL tubes. I'd be interested!!

What features of the Shuguang 502B did Pacific Valve misrepresent?

Quant100, The pictures posted on their website showed the volume control knob had a blue led on it to indicate it's position. The amplifier I received from them had no led. Shuguang did about 90% of a good job. The amplifier was advertised as having high end audio components. It does, now that I have replaced the cheap coupling caps with polyproplene caps and beefed up the power supply resistors with wirewound non inductive resistors. I was disappointed with Pacific Valve but not with the amp. With the upgrades to the components and tubes the amp performance is well worth the costs.
