Report Review for product Vacuum Tube - KT88, JJ Electronics, Blue Glass

I'm glad I bought the Apex Quad Matched JJ KT88 Blue Glass set. I've been using the original Shuguang KT88 tubes that came with my 13 yr old Yaqin MC100B. They have been sounding lethargic the last few years and I've listened to the MC100B less and less. But my wife recently showed interest in vinyls and started buying albums. She also urged me to upgrade to a better turntable. We chose the Rega Planar 2. I finally decided to replace the old Shuguangs. When I first bought the MC100B, I had immediately replaced the original Chinese 12AX7 and 6N8P with JJ 12AX7 and Sylvania 6SN7GTA. The Shuguangs sounded good with the JJ and Sylvania in front. But that was then. With the new Rega turntable, the Shuguangs were too bassy and lacking verve. That all changed for the *best* with the new matched JJ KT88 quad. And that blue glass, they simply make the MC100B that much more eye catching and so cool. Thanks to AES for a great price and quick shipping.
