Wow! This is new to me. FWIW I traded my cj ARTsa, which used (8) KT 120 for a new cj ART150 which uses (4) KT 150 and the new one offers a worthwhile improvement in every respect. It is more stable, too. In fact in over a year of daily use I have only had to re-adjust the bias on one tube and it by only a small amount. It does put out a lot of heat and for that reason I put cooling fans on it. In any event, based on this experience I would guess that the KT 170 has the potential to offer additional performance benefits for amps designed to use them.
Tung Sol KT 170
Anyone had advance listen of this new tube? I've yet to try the KT150. 8 KT150's@$100+ each remind me why.

Funky shape. Based on the KT150 pricing, curious what the retail pricing will be?
