    Hmmm , posted a reply from my phone but it doesnt seem to have made it on here. JW always recomends GEC to me, says they last for ever, but too expensive and risky for me, the amps came with Sovteks which lasted about 3 years, the next pair of Sovteks about 2 years. I cant find Sovteks now, I thought about EH as I saw a good report on them a few years back but as most people recommend GL .

    are the tubes that much different? both russian

    4 x EH KT88 = £144
    4 x GL KT88 = £194.40
    tested, matched and warrantied from Watford Valves
