[Amps] Wrong Business

[Pete Smith]

Boy, doesn't the pseudo-science in these reviews drive you nuts?  for example:

"My limited experience with KT88s tells me they're a good choice to replace 
triodes; the tube has a rich, juicy midrange reminiscent of triodes, and 
can generate some real power. After all, the KT88 is a pentode."

Whaaa?

73, Pete N4ZR
