Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The KT88-TK quad is a set of beam-power tetrodes for guitar and hi-fi amplifier applications. Made with JJ Electronic in Slovakia, these Black Diamond Series tubes are described with high output, low distortion, harmonic richness, and a balanced tonal response. The voice is characterized by a firm low end and smooth midrange, with enough power for clean passages as well as overdriven amplifier sounds. Each tube uses an octal eight-pin base.
