Just googled ~~KT150 Review~~ and brought me here, read through the posts.
Only confirms what i figured out on my own reserach independent of the comments/experiences posted here.
I listened to the YT vids of the few 150's uploads( sure sound is compressed etc) still I can detect that the 150 is the tube i want to roll next in my Defy7. I bought it with 6550's and never listened to it with that tube, as i had no preamp,,,yrs later i boughta pre and decided to get the Defy up N running with KT90's, as i recall fond memories of that tube in my jadis Orch Refer,, the EIKT90's are over rtaed as mentioned by a jadis expert here on audiogon.
So I just sold off at 1/2 price the 12 EHKT90's and am running the KT88, labeled ARC,,,a bit superior to the 90. So I am looking for a bit more soundstage for my full orchestra muisc.
I thought maybe the KT120;s..then I thought through a bit more carefully, as i do not want to make yet another costly error,,,so i thought ~~~why should i even consider the1 20's, when fora bit more i could get the 150's.
After hearinga few YT vids of the 150's. its certain its my next upgrade.
Sure the 88's are really nice. But since i am looking for ~~Nirvana~~ the 150 will voice the Defy's raw power and dynamics more than the 150's smaller brother, the 120.
The prices are stable at near $400 Sextet from 1 ebay seller.
btw I have my cayin cd17 Mark1 in the shp/installing twenty M SGO caps, the white casing. Can not afford the much larger sized Supremes, nor would they fit,,,,,even the whites are going to be jammed in/but doable,,,I will return to the shootouts twix top dog AX's and also the AU's vs the E80CC's. ...back to subject,
The KT150;'s. ,,,,,,you do not see any used/good bargains on ebay,, = ~~a keeper~ = ~~A winner~. could we say the 150 tube is ^^almost^^ approaching a single ended tube sound, the 300/805/845 sound imaging?.
