Questions on KT150 tubes


Does anybody here have experience using that tube? Can you tell me how it sounds? I have a Primaluna DiaLogue Premium HP and it can use them but they aren't cheap. I'm running the stock EL34s and LOVE it but seems like this tube is all the rage. The Primaluna is unbelievable for its tube magic as-is. Also I wonder if the KT150 would last.

Also the best places to buy them. Not the cheapest. The best quality.

I have the same Jolida amp as the Wolf_Garcia. I had the Tung Sol KT-120s and later got to KT-150s. To me with the Tung Sol KT-150s in place I've got the big and sweet midrange/highs of an EL34 tube with so much for oomph bass wise. The bass wasn't boomy either like when I had JJ-KT88s in my amp. To me when I had the Tung Sol KT-120 in my Jolida I found the music to be ok sounding not a good experience like the Wolfman had. I ended up getting NOS GE 6550 tubes in the Jolida and liking that sound. When one of those tubes blew up on me I then went for the KT-150s after having long talks with Jolida techs to ensure the amp would survive.
