Genalex Gold Lion KT66 reissue - precision matched

Genalex Gold Lion KT66 reissue - premium matched
Manufacturer: Genalex Gold Lion (reissue)
These new production Genalex Gold Lion KT66 power tubes can be run in any amp that uses 6L6 or 5881 type tubes (if you want to sub KT66s for 6L6s, make sure your amp has room for their larger envelopes).

The Genalex KT66 tubes are a faithful reproduction of the tubes Eric Clapton used to achieve the famous "Bluesbreaker Tone." They were also used in favorite 1950-60 hi-fi amps such as the Heathkit W-5M and many Leak amplifiers. They
feature 3 getters for a superior vacuum, gold plated grid wire, heavy glass, and ruggedized plates.

These tubes have been burned in, tested at typical operating voltages on a laboratory grade Amplitrex AT1000, and precisely matched for both current draw (mA) and transconductance (Gm). Learn more about our burn-in and testing process here.

Price is for a single tube and includes burn-in and standard matching service. Tubes ship in Genalex Gold Lion retail boxes.

Precision Power Tube Matching

Our power tubes are burned in for 48 hours and tested on a laboratory grade Amplitrex AT1000 tube tester. We match tubes for both current draw (mA) and transconductance (Gm) at typical operating conditions (see #3 below) for no extra charge. We can also custom match power tubes at whatever specifications you provide (see #4 below).

The questions listed below allow you to provide optional information about your operating conditions that will help us select the best matched set of power tubes for your amplifier. Why this matters
