Has anyone tried KT150s in their ARC Ref 110?


Hi all,

Was wondering if any ARC Ref 110 owners have tried the KT150 output tubes in their Ref 110. Seems like ARC is testing out the KT150 in the current production amps and while officially not yet sanctioned, they seemed to have tacitly ok'ed the trial of the KT150 in Ref 75 and Ref 150 amps from various user comments on different forums.

I would be interested in hearing if anyone has tried this output tube in their Ref 110. If yes, at what bias? Any sonic impressions compared to either the 6550s or KT120s would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Bifwynne...if I remember correctly, you had the Ref 110 before the Ref 150. Did you ever try the Winged 6550C SED tube in the 110 vs. ARC's standard issue Svetlana 6550? If yes any thoughts on that tube?
Bifwynne...thanks for your response.

Joecasey/Wolf_Garcia...please take it offline and just for the record, this thread was specific to the Ref 110 which is not a current Ref amp and hence why I thought it was ok to start a new thread, given that the other thread was about the KT150s in ARC's current Reference amps.
