My Quicksilver v4s need retubing. Was using JJ88s. I listen to classical music. My speakers are Maggie 1.7. and 1 Vandy sub. Am considering Gold Lion kt88 or Tung Sol KT 120. Can someone help with my decision or make a suggestion of their own. Your input is much needed and appreciated.
 
If Mike Sanders says the KT-120 tubes are compatible with the V4s, I would go with them. The fact that ARC and CJ have switched over to them is telling. I'm not a big fan of any of the current production KT-88s that I have heard and the GL reissues are nothing special. I owned a pair of V4s and actually used them with EL-34s.
 
Thank you MEP. Indeed Mike Sanders told me they were compatible and my dealer is very high on them and uses them in v4s.
