Ah! I see. It's a matched pair. That nudges it close to bargain territory.

I think the iron for these tubes comes from Caterpillar. It's yellow and it matches Gabi's bumblebee scheme.

Heres why it cost so much..
Free Cryogenics with All Tube Purchases.
So they will freeze your body and defrost you back to life when the interest on your savings allows you to afford the valve.…. or have I been watching to much TV?

I thought triodes were not too good in power amps… or am I wrong again.

What you really need is one of these. http://www.tubedepot.com/we-252a-as1.html

If that doesn't meet your needs maybe something else on this page, if it hasn't sold already. http://www.tubedepot.com/newarrivals.html

Pooo on that.. just get some of these..
They are huge!!

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.
