Shuguang Treasure Series KT120


Hi,

Can anyone explain to me what happened to these tubes? They are not available that I can find. They are rated better than the Tung-Sol but I can't seem to find them anywhere. Were they discontinued?

Thanks, I was trying to figure out why I couldn't find them. I believe they were direct factory purchase which is why no dealers in the U.S. have any inventory. Is that correct?

Yes. I needed a Shuguang kt88 T and couldn't find one except in China. You may try China HiFi. The problem I encountered was shipping was as costly as the tubes. And since one had blown and taken out a power supply, I was hesitant to try them again anyway.

I tried China HiFi and they don’t list them. I think I’ll just

give the Tung-Sols a try.

@falconquest good decision, a few years ago there was more availability of a few different brand KT120s and agree they kinda disappeared.  I too recently ordered the Tung Sol KT120s to retry in place of my KT150s.  So far so good. 

Can’t verify anything but whatever buzz they generated at first seemed to die down when reports of failures and quality issues rolled in. Then they weren’t for sale anymore. I guess sellers got tired of dealing with customer complaints. Personally I will stay far far away from them if they ever appear again.
