new tung sol kt 120

I just heard that ARC is shipping the kt120s in their amps.

I just heard about the new KT 120 tube. I own an ARC VS 115, which came with "Winged C' SED 6550 tubes. Does anyone know whether the VS 115 will need an ARC mod in order to handle the KT 120.

As is, my amp puts out plenty of power for my system. I really don't aneed anymore. More importantly, does the new tube sound better than the 6550?

Love them!I'm using them with Quicksilver v4's.I believe these tubes are better for speakers that love power.My speakers run at 84.No problem with the transformers on the V4's just great sound!

Anyone else care to share their thoughts on the Tung Sol KT-120 tubes in their gear?

Put them in my ARC VS 115. Major upgrade over old stock 6550 "winged C" tubes in every way. Be careful: not all tube amps can take the extra current load. Check with the factory before dropping them in.
