Default Shuguang Treasure KT88Z valves, need your opinion.

Lately I am digging the net for some info about these Treasures and all I can find is very positive. Can this be true? Dont know, thats why I am looking for your help, tube guru's.
Their price tag arent cheap, in fact, its close to some of the best, if not the one, GEC, so, the question is, whats the deal?

Lets talk.

THX.

They can be had for a lot cheaper, if you have friends in China who also have an account on taobao.com

THX for an update and link.

The cheapest I could find were on Ebay US, USD 179 a pair shipped. The price in China would be 50% less, but where I can find somebody who can buy them for me I just found them up here and they are like USD 44 each ( assuming that the price is in HK$ ), not sure about shipping Êï¹âÕ䯷¹Ü KT88-Z¹Ü Õ䯷µç×Ó¹ÜÓù²Ø°æÒ²ÓлõÖʱ£Ò»Äê¡¡³§¼ÒÖ±Ïú-Ó°ÒôµçÆ÷ - ÌÔ±¦Íø

Anyone?
