New KT150 tubes?


Has anyone any experience with these pretty new tubes. There are already one or 2 amps I know of, that use them. The review of one of these amps in a UK magazine suggested they were a little warmer and more natural sounding than the nearly new KT120's

The article also suggested they were a straight swap for KT120 based amps, with no adjustment necessary. They are more than twice the cost of KT120's, but still not too costly compared with NOS tubes. I know changing from KT88's or 90's to 120's. did require some amp modification. I have an ARC reference 75 and might want to try the new tubes at some point, ARC don't seem to have a customer E-mail service, to ask the question

if the come anywhere nere the Tesla Vršovice kt88 in sound I will gladly pay $7-800 for an octet. The Eat KT88 which I believe to be the same as the tesla are fetching $1400 for the quad which is crazy money for (most of us . that being said those KT88 had air and space Carnagie Hall compared to local bar) like nothing Ive heard before or since.Too bad they were a bad match for my hard driving rogue 120s.

Has anyone here heard the Eats and the 150s?
