I have not found any information on these outside of a few pictures , and nothing from Tung Sol/New Sensor. I have myself set up as a dealer with them, so I should get some word on them soon I think. I will post some details when I get them.

    No interest in these sweeties?

    I heard they are good for something up to 90 watts per tube.

    Noosinjohn,

    Here's something to chew on. I thought you might be interested to know that Bob said last night that he's already completed work on a design with the 150's. He said (using the same OT) that a pair produced almost the same wattage as the 6 outputs in the current amp.

    So to some folks, these tubes are in circulation apparently.

    He said he loved the 150 tube!

    A so called science type proudly says... "I do realize that I would fool myself all the time, about listening conclusions and many other observations, if I did listen before buying. That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

    You mean New Sensor launches KT 150. Tung Sol is long defunct and New Sensor tubes are not anything like original Tung Sol's.
