Quicksilver V4 amps with KT150

Hi

I recently pick up a 5 year old pair of Quicksilver V4 amps.

I contacted Quicksilver and Mike confirmed that it can use KT150 tubes even though it does not have the latest transformer. He felt the KT150 would be a “significant improvement” over the KT88’s.

While I respect Mike’s opinion I am looking for feedback from anyone using the KT150 in their V4’s before I spend $800.00 or so on new tubes.

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback.

The amps sounds so good they way they are but with all the hype around the kt150 and the recommendation from Mike it has me thinking...

Mike said they should be biased at 45ma

I will post my impressions in a few weeks. I just ordered a set.

Just curious what system did you hear the V4's in?

Hi,

Sorry I never followed up my post.

Unfortunately I never got to try them. 

Long story but I had issues with my tube order and the amps sound so good with the KT88's I gave up on trying KT150.
