Ron I need to listen more to get a good grasp on the GL KT88. So far they are favorable. Great bass control, top end extension is good with no brightness, mid-range is nice but I'm trying to find the correct 12AU7 combo. The Cifte is in the front two and reissue Tung Sol in the last 4 slots. I am liking it so far and I will say this. I like the GL KT88 better than the KT150. For some reason the bass is fuller and stronger. YMMV but maybe the amp handles the 88 tube design better than the 150? Kind of shocking and I feel I have several hours on the 150 to get a decent feel for them. Maybe they need more time? Not sure how long most people feel they need, but I think with any tube after 25-50 hours one should get a good opinion or feel of the sonic characteristics.
Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?
I have a Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium with stock EL34s. When the EL34s wear out, which I suspect will be a long time, what would I replace them with? The KT150 is intriguing to me.
Has anyone compared these tubes, especially in Primaluna gear? I'm wondering if I would lose the EL34s midrange in exchange for the increased power of KT150s. It's hard to find, however, a bad review of anyone using KT150s.
Thanks all!
