Much obliged, just had a look... might order there.Steve wrote:'Twas actually Hotrox that I got the KT120's from. Was all set to press the button on Watford Audio until realised that prices on website were ex VAT. So quick check against Hotrox and they were the better price. Service grand too.
Have to admit, my experience with JJ Tesla's was rather negative. KT88's which started to fail quite quickly. Imported from US. Might have been just poor batch...

it's not uncommon. But agreed! Luckily my company needs valves urgently.

Re: Cracklin' valves ???
Many thanks Steven, my four "matched at birth" Gold Lion KT77s arrived from Hotrox this morning and I managed to have a quick listen. Even out of the box they sound very nice... warm with a little more detail and a noticeable improvement in soundstage/imagry. Looking forward to an evening of listening.Ivor wrote:Much obliged, just had a look... might order there.Steve wrote:'Twas actually Hotrox that I got the KT120's from.
