I have I have the hp dialogue premium power amp and was amazed at how dramatic the improvement was by using NOS mullards 12au7s in the v11& v12 positions. The soundstage was so much bigger and deeper into proac monitors, which have a great soundstage to begin with.
Has anyone compared K150 tubes and the stock EL34s in Primaluna integrated/amplifiers?
I have a Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium with stock EL34s. When the EL34s wear out, which I suspect will be a long time, what would I replace them with? The KT150 is intriguing to me.
Has anyone compared these tubes, especially in Primaluna gear? I'm wondering if I would lose the EL34s midrange in exchange for the increased power of KT150s. It's hard to find, however, a bad review of anyone using KT150s.
Thanks all!

FWIW .. Before plugging in a higher output example of the 6550, PLEASE insure the amplifier design will handle the higher load. Contact the designer of the amp and ask them if there may be a problem. Without question, it WILL be a tearful experience when flipping the switch and not clearing the launch pad.. pc |
I just may try the KT150 in my HP after hearing the results of this thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/considering-switching-from-audio-research-to-primaluna-troube... Not being able to use the cage however, is a negative. Maybe no big deal since I don't have any small children/pets running around. |
