I remember buying a REALLY nice quartet of Genelex KT-88s from a gentleman with a pair of Dynaco MKIII amps for $100 in the '95 or so and thinking that was a pretty good deal . . . crazy what some of this stuff has appreciated to.

That was almost 25 years ago. And these fine tubes, as rugged and long-lasting as they are, don't last forever. Supply is dwindling. Luckily the new production Gold Lions are also pretty good, and Mac amps don't seem to be as sensitive to various tubes as other amps. Having said that, I do still slightly prefer the sound of these old GEC/Genelex KT88's or TT21 tubes to any others I've tried.
