I would say the end user is easy pray to a manufacturer like that selling mysticism at a premium. Doesn't inspire confidence in the product as a whole when with a different print job on a glass bottle Carries such value to them. I would run a mile and snap my wallet shut faster than a Venus fly trap.

Sorry but are you saying that ALL tubes are the same and that there is no difference in quality ????? i believe that like anything else there are cheap tubes and good to very good tubes, but i may be wrong.Paul Barker wrote:I would say the end user is easy pray to a manufacturer like that selling mysticism at a premium.

Sure good quality should cost more, logically, the part we're having trouble is is the degree of mark-up. Mind you this makes interesting reading:

No, I think we're saying the best tubes aren't necessarily the most expensive ones, and that some of the really expensive ones aren't really very good.MrAcoustat wrote: Sorry but are you saying that ALL tubes are the same and that there is no difference in quality ?????

The kt88 is a poor tube even if we are talking general electric, production quality clearly visible through the clear glass tells you that.
I come from a generation of valve heads who would find a comment of superior quality from a Chinese manufacturer a complete joke. Their 845 s and 211s are absolute trash. I wouldn't trust their kt88 but i don't want a kt88 amp of any description.
They are now making good300bs perhaps some of their other tubes are also better than three un merchandise able tripe they started with 10 years ago.
But it's academic because you can't polish a turd.

I just googled 'spam bot attack' - what does it mean?
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

It means that the posting was automatically generated. A machine generated spam device I and some others call a spam bot, playing on the terms spam (for unwanted communication) and robot (for automatic).
Attack.
Because it is clearly not a post generated by a living being with an intyerest in the subject matter of the forum I see it as an attack on the reson d'etre of the forum.
