Has anyone seen or used these at all? I stumbled upon them in searching for kt66 tubes. They seem a bit on the pricey side. I am not even sure where this dealer is, but they say the tubes ship directly from China.

I figured I would post it and see what you all think.

Suggested burn in time is 300 hours? WTF?

Ask TubeTramp AKA Terry Kilgore about them.. He is the man

For the price, I'd rather hold out for NOS.

Hm these seem pretty interesting. I would love to hear more about them if anybody has any information.

Yep, works!

But too much money!
And too much risk! (Hongkong)

I heard Grant Fidelity is a reputable dealer although I would not buy them. I read a review of the Treasure KT88 and the reviewer said he was really pleased with the tubes and they were every bit as good as the originals. I don't believe that statement one bit, but that was one random person's opinion and not a trust worthy source of an opinion either.

No good guitar reviews of them yet though...

I know a couple of guys that have bought the Grant tube preamp.
They said they really like it.
One guy used it on the front end of a solid state guitar amp and he said it really improved the tone dramatically.
The other guy uses two for his CD player and he said he liked what it did for that as well.

Has anyone tried them yet in a JTM45/JTM45 clone? My old GEC´s are getting tired...

Now I have used them for 15 hrs. No harmonies even with hot bias. They are very quiet,though. Too Hi-fi?

I put the old GEC:s back, and touché!

I think this is the cheapest price for these? It's atleast cheaper than GEC's now haha.
