i have a ref 75 w kt120 but never ran it with kt150’s
the amp needs an upgrade to run the higher bias kt150 i believe... it is not just plug and play
i also have a vt100-2, w kt88’s... to me the ref 75 is sweeter and more quiet/blacker in background than the vt100 - the vt100 has a little bit of hash in the background, but with twice the output tubes the vt100 definitely provides a bit more drive on dynamic swings - how much treble ’snap’ the vt100 provides is a function of what input tubes you use as well...
