KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110.


Is anyone using KT150s in the Ref 110 and what is your opinion please?  ARC told me that they weren't recommended but I've read differently.  I'm currently using KT120s.

KT150s in Audio Research Ref 110.
The Ref110 was originally made by AR for 6550’s
I had an amp that I tried 6550’s, KT90’s KT120’s and KT150 in, it suited all.
But I found it sounded the very best using the Green Label plain white box mil spec GE 6550’s, this tube sounds way out in front of all the others for sound quality, btw the glass envelope was twice the thickness, you could tell when you ficked it with your finger nail, there was just a dead thud, instead of a ping!
Just like these > https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202717315969
