Cary SLI-80 with KT-120 tubes?


I contacted Cary and they said the KT-120 output tube will work with the SLI-80. I was wondering if any SLI-80 owners have tried the KT-120 and have any opinion or comments?

Do the KT-120's run in triode mode, 'Kettle7830'? I'm interested in building an amp around this tube, but have so far seen little to suggest OPTIMUM operating points, via the "famous search engine" route.

'Kpodolski', did you get the idea that Cary had a good handle on this design issue yet? One problem, of course, is that existing amp designs can't normally supply the high B+ voltage that the KT-120 might want to really get there... and most manufacturers will be reluctant to base new designs of this sort around a single source output tube.
