Genalex Gold Lion KT88 reissue - precision matched
Manufacturer: Genalex Gold Lion (reissue)
In 1957 Marconi-Osram Valve Co. (Genalex) introduced the "King of Power
Tubes," the legendary Gold Lion KT88. This tube became the heart and
soul of such classics as the Dynaco Mark III, McIntosh MC275, and
Marshall Major. Unfortunately, Genalex ceased tube production in the
early 1980s and the Genalex Gold Lion KT88 has become very expensive and
hard to find.
After extensive research and engineering, New
Sensor Corp. has reissued the famed Genalex Gold Lion KT88. This tube
has been recreated down to the finest detail with gold plated grid wire,
carbonized screen grids, and a tri-alloy clad plate structure for
exceptional performance and sound quality.
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.
