Primaluna-TungSol KT120s in triode mode


Anyone have experience with this? I have a Dialogue 2 and enjoy triode mode and wondered how these would sound. I Have used kt88s, el34s (SED winged c) and gold lion KT-77s and am currently diggin' the KT-77s. Prefer open, airy, natural detail. All pre tubes in Dialogue are Mullard and GE NOS. Thank you for your time! Rest of system is: Scout 1.1 with Soundsmith Zephyr, Audio Electronics DJH phono preamp (nos tubes) and MartinLogan EM ESLs.

I also own the gold lion kt77 tubes, and the kt120 sound way better than those on my speakers btw (revel f32)
Moofoo,
In the current Stereophile (Feb), Art Dudley reviews the new Primaluna Dialogue Premium ($3,200). Dudley preferred the Tung-Sol Kt120 in Triode mode. Dudley also rated this amp one of the best regardless of price, if I am remembering correctly. Dudley is a Shindo/Leben/Audio Note fan.
The KT-120 sounds different in each manufacturers amp. If the amp was voiced with the KT-77 then it would sound better with the KT-77. ARC amps that are designed to use KT-120's sound better with that tube.
I've been keeping track of negative reviews of the KT120 tube, and it's now up to 4. Maybe 5. I'm not doing a good job at this, but so far my totals are:

Positive KT120 opinions: 15,628.

Negative: 4. Or maybe 5.
Hold on Wolf. Let's not rush to judgment. Your count totals are not accurate. First, add me to the "positives," so that number should be 15,629.

Also, John mentioned that "everyone [he] know[s] around town that has tried them didn't like them either." We need to count those people too. LOL :)
