Brand New Tung-Sol KT150 KT-150 Plate Current Matched Quad (4) Vacuum Tubes     



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.



Tested, matched and burned in for 24 hours at the factory!

International orders will be shipped by USPS First Class Mail International by default, which is the cheapest possible way and you do get what you pay for. This shipping service is very cost-effective and extremely safe, but you will not be able to track your package. It usually takes 3-6 weeks for a First Class Mail International package to arrive, but can take UP TO 3 MONTHS FOR DELIVERY DUE TO CUSTOMS, ESPECIALLY IN CERTAIN STRICT COUNTRIES LIKE RUSSIA, CHINA OR BRAZIL.

We guarantee all of our shipments, but we do ask that our customers wait 90 days before we grant a full refund due to a lost package. We have shipped thousands of items internationally using First Class Mail and while we have had plenty take several months to arrive, we have had less than 10 actual lost packages.
