What BIG tube rules?

Also have a 450TH P-P subwoofer monoblock in the 'gathering parts' box. 

ok, that would be something else!

So far I have two sets of 450TH bottles, the output xfmer (shud be good for 1 kW into 8 ohms), all the PSU parts, and the castor wheels and cabinet components plus a attempt at a case design.  I also have a C.T. driver choke wound.  Just waiting for the time and a kick in the inspiration department.  Other projects on the go now that are infinitely more important to my survival like a multi-year (into the 4th year now) in the building wind turbine.

Hallo everybody, hoi Bas,

ik mis de KT88 op het lijst? I am missing the KT88 on the list, isn't that a big tube? I have been playing with all sorts of tubes, lots of them not really being audiotubes, I came to the conclusion, that real audio tubes sound better than tubes, which are meant to do something else, well most the time.  So I would vote for KT88, just they are not on the list.


Kind regards from Holland

Is 6S33S  BIG tube?

If no one has seen it, there is a new tube, the KT120.

http://www.tubedepot.com/ts-kt120.html

"This is the most powerful audio power tube in production today. With a plate dissipation rating of 60W (compare that with the 35W of the 6550, the 42W of the KT88, and the 50W of the KT90), a pair of these KT120 tubes in push-pull configuration can deliver 150 watts or more of audio power. A"

"This new KT120 is the steamroller of audio tubes, prepare to be flattened."

Maybe 150 watts are for breaking wash-basins or bath-tubes ......I don't understand this power....but how is power in audiophill and hi-end SE?
