If it was me, I would be doing the same as you anyway.
I must agree with Jerry. Ive had a good number of EL34 amps and none have set the world alight for me. I like KT120s much more than KT88s although I've not yet tried KT150s. I'd also,agree with Jerry in his liking for KT90s. Best valve sound I've had was using KT90s, although I can't remember which ones.
Hi Mike
if you like please look at German "audio-markt", Angebots-ID 7175992842. or search there for "Tung Sol". Seller has 16 KT120 matched, and eight KT150 matched . I just bought 4 KT120 for 80Euros. They are like new, perfect seller, perfect tubes, great sound in my CJ MV 75. Maybe he ships them to you, I don't know. Regards. Knut

I have KT88s in my Prima Luna Prologue one, as supplied by the seller who was a bit of a tube roller. They’re Electro Harmonics and sound better than the EL34s that came with it.
Tube rolling is fun on these amps...

I have a quad of Psvane Hifi KT88's with about 300 hrs on them if you're interested.
Compared to EL34s in the same amp the bass is far deeper and more controlled...

I've always struggled to find low use power valves, people don't seem to sell them like the smaller ones.
