Available in Platinum Matched Pairs, Quads,
Sextet or even Octet Sets!!!
The platinum matching process consists of a
24 hour tube burn-in period followed by a bias (plate) current measurement in
milliamps.
In September of 1950 Tung-Sol introduced
the 5881, an uprated and industrial version of the 6L6GA with a 23.5 watt plate
dissipation, opening the doors to the hi-fi movement of the 1950s. This rugged
tube also found a home in the '59 Fender Bassman and servo amplifiers used in
B-52 bombers. In 1955 Tung-Sol raised the bar of high fidelity with the
introduction of the 35 watt 6550, which could deliver 100 watts with a pair in
push-pull configuration. This tube was used in the Dynaco Mark III and Sunn
amplifers.
New Sensor now announces the Tung-Sol KT120, which has a plate dissipation of 60
watts, making it the most powerful tube in the 6550/KT88/KT90 family. A pair of
these tubes in push-pull configuration can deliver power levels of 150 or more
watts. When used at the parameters found in existing 6550/KT88/KT90 circuits,
the Tung-Sol KT120 is impervious to overload, delivering peak power with extreme
reliability and long tube life. However, taking advantage of the higher current
handling capacity of these tubes, a very unique and super powerful and stable
amp can be designed using the Tung-Sol KT-120.
