Svetlana valves are different for the Original Svetlana AKA Winged C that were made by made by the JSC Svetlana Company that owned and operated the Svetlana factory in St. Petersburg, Russia. Watford Valves were one of the largest suppliers of Original Svetlana Winged C until the factories closure in 2012. We have always referred the original Svetlana products as Svetlana winged C

The Svetlana Electron Devices brand name was bought by New Sensor in 2001. JSC sued New Sensor over the use of the name. In 2003, both parties signed an agreement giving New Sensor the exclusive right to the use of Svetlana Electron Devices name and giving JSC the exclusive right to use the winged-C logo.

Until recently it was not possible for us to offer Svetlana valves manufactured at the New Sensor owned Xpo-Pul factory which is known as Reflektor in Saratov, Russia.

So In order that you are clear about what you are purchasing we have defined the New Svetlana Valves as Svetlana Reflector. We have done this as companies selling Svetlana valve do not make the distinction clear enough.

Watford Valves were trading prior to 2001 and dealt with all parties concerned. Some companies making claims to know what happed during this time were not even trading at this time. Which is why you can trust Watford valves and why we have made the further distinction.
These Svetlana Reflector KT88 are made at Xpo-Pul factory also known as Reflector in Saratov, Russia.

This Reflector made Svetlana KT88 is a faithful re-issue of the original design and construction of the famous winged C KT88.

The Original Winged C Svetlana was developed for McIntosh and won worldwide acclaim as the best post MOV GEC KT88.

The Reflector Svetlana reissue shares all of the same improvements of the Winged C.
The valve uses a tri laminated anode plate construction which gives greater stability at high voltages.

Gold plated molybdenum alloy control grid and graphite coated screen grid to reduce secondary emission. This also helps the valve dissipate the heat more efficiently thus resulting in better performance.

The Reflector KT88 also has a single piece beam forming electrode with precise screen grid alignment. This Reflector made KT88 has the same internal bracing and thick grade glass for long life of the original winged C.

The Svetlana Reflector KT88 produces a big warm and very detailed sound. The bass is fast and solid and has more depth than most other KT88. Indeed bass clarity is what this valve excels at with plenty air around the notes. It also handles complex musical passages with ease and has never sounding confused or harsh. This is a superbly made and great sounding KT88 that rivals the Gold Lion KT88 which is also made are the same plant.

This Original Winged C KT88 won countless international reviews and one customer commented to us that the Winged C KT88 was as close as you can get to the original GEC sound at sensible money.

This Reflector made KT88 perfectly recreates the sound and excellent build quality of the Original winged C

These are burnt in and dual matched by us on anode current and gain and we have matched pairs and quads
