Has anyone had problems running kt-120s tubes in there power amp?


Hi everyone I have bought a set of kt-120's for my cary audio CAD 120s power amp and checked with the manufacture. But some audio research people have told me of problems after running them in there older amps, like the vs115. After they where told they can run them in there amp. So I put my stock kt-88s back in. Has anyone had issues with these kt-120 tubes? especially in the Cad-120s?

Since you aren't running an ARC amp, I really don't see what your concern is.   Obviously the transformers in those particular ARC amps couldn't handle the KT-120 tubes.  Cary already told you the tubes will work fine in your amp, so what is the problem?  The KT-120 tube is like a KT88 on steroids.  Everything is better about them.  You are really missing out by not using them.

FYI, the newer ARC amps work fine with the KT-120 tubes now.
