Going from the KT120 to the KT150 will NOT give you any more power. You will only hear the sonic differences. Someone on another forum just upgraded from KT120's to the KT150's on an Arc Ref75 and just loves them. But he probably doesn't have 20 hrs on them yet. I want to wait to hear his impression after 100hrs or so. IMO the KT120 is a slightly dry sound with 'shouty' mids. I'm running Ei KT90's in high power mode and really like them the best so far.
6L6WGC/5881 Tube choices for Amp
Dear Friends,
I have a small system in my office which punches out 40 Watts (sounds like 80 really) in pentode configuration.
I currently have the stock tubes on em - not bad, but i feel with the power tube change, things can go really sweet.
I have no knowledge on Tubes, Frankly on Ebay a quad matched pair
can range from 400-900.00 i do not know if its worth it to spend that
kind of money.
However,i am keen on changing the ECC83 to Brimar NOS.
Any help i can get is really appreciated!
