You want more power? The Tungsol KT150 vacuum tube is quite possibly the answer. This beast is rated for 70W plate dissipation! That's 10W more than the already impressive Tung-Sol KT120 power tube. The KT150 power tube delivers a strong bass signature that adds weight and impact to your audio. This tube ensures a solid low-end foundation. Its midrange is neutral, avoiding any undue emphasis on specific frequencies. This neutrality contributes to a balanced overall sound, allowing vocals and instruments to shine without distortion. The high frequencies are rendered with remarkable clarity. You’ll experience detailed treble without any harshness or muddiness.


From the manufacturer: "With the new KT150, Tung-Sol continues to lead in the audio power tube, power game. After the introduction of the highly successful Tung-Sol KT120, Russia's premier vacuum tube inventor, Valery Krivtsov, in collaboration with Irusha Bitukova and a team of ExpoPUL tube designers, set to work in our laboratories to develop an even more powerful audio output tube.

With a massive plate dissipation of 70 watts, the Tung-Sol KT150 is the most powerful octal beam tetrode ever produced. A pair of KT150s can allow an amplifier with a power output approaching 300 watts to be built.

The Tung-Sol KT150 glass envelope is a special egg shaped balloon that was developed to improve thermal dissipation and maintain a superior vacuum for the best sound. The fact that the glass envelope has no flat sides means the Tung-Sol KT150 has no problems with microphonics.

The manufacturers who are developing amplifiers to use this tube have reported that the Tung-Sol KT150 sounds great in all power amplifier configurations including single-ended, triode connected and ultra-linear. The tone signature of the Tung-Sol KT150 is characterized by a strong bass signature with balance and clarity throughout the audio frequency spectrum."


Note: Check with your amp's manufacturer to confirm the KT150 tube will work in your amp. It has higher heater current draw (~20%) than typical KT88 tubes.

Nice tube in a SE amp

by

I plugged this tube into a single ended amp that I had built for KT88's and adjusted the current and voltage to get in the right ball park. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the bass and the highs, both of which, I had thought were pretty good before. Now there's way more solid feel to kick drums and stand up bass and cymbals really get the whole shimmering thing going. I'm running them into a pair of Altec model 19's or 604-8G's.
All in all, they're keepers.
