Has anyone had problems running kt-120s tubes in there power amp?


Hi everyone I have bought a set of kt-120's for my cary audio CAD 120s power amp and checked with the manufacture. But some audio research people have told me of problems after running them in there older amps, like the vs115. After they where told they can run them in there amp. So I put my stock kt-88s back in. Has anyone had issues with these kt-120 tubes? especially in the Cad-120s?

I don’t recall anyone with ARC amps having actual issues with 120s, or at least issues that were reported here, although there was a lot of speculation and trepidation. I began a thoroughly scientific and utterly informal and perhaps meaningless survey that determined that nobody reported actual transformer issues from 120s. I ran 120s in my Jolida 502P for a couple of years and they worked perfectly until simply wearing out…150s seemed a little much for the amp but 120s…no problemo. I use Gold Lion KT 88s now because I like them…they’re pretty...
