RE: New tubes:new life, shoulda done this sooner

I don't know that I really get much if any any extra power as the 502 circuit was designed for the KT88 - 6550 power tubes. Talking to Allen, the guy that owns Jolida he said maybe a few additional watts but the reason to get the KT 150's is that they just sound better.

I power Magneplanar 1.7's a very inefficient 4 ohm planar speaker. I like the sound of these speakers with the tube Jolida much more than I do with very powerful 300- 400 watt SS amps that I also own.
