KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150


Has anyone here gone from using KT120's in their amp to KT150's and preferred the KT150 tube...conversely has anyone gone from KT150's in their amp to KT120's and preferred the KT120's?

I agree with others that, in part, it depends on the amplifier design.

The just released Zesto Audio Bia 200 Select has a selector switch with three positions; KT88, KT120, KT150 or KT170 with power output 60, 80 or 100W depending on tube and selector position. These amps ship with KT150 tubes presumably because that's what the designer prefers. It's nice to have the option of optimizing the amplifier for different tube types.

I have one on the way and look forward to playing about with all four tube types within the three operational options. My Fyne F703 speakers are relatively efficient so 60, 80 or 100W will be more than sufficient power.
