Description

New Matched Quad of Tung-Sol KT170 Vacuum Tubes

We are so happy to carry Tung-Sol’s newest high power tetrode. The wonderful folks at Tung-Sol have done it again, and are introducing a brand new tube to the world! We’re so happy that at least one company is doing R&D into brand new tube designs.

With the success of the KT120 and KT150 they dialed things up yet again with the KT170 which has a plate dissipation of a whopping 85 watts! A pair of these badboys can put out 300 watts.

With specially designed cathodes and a unique glass design to dissipate heat these are designed for the best sound and reliability.

These tubes are now favored by many manufacturers (including the famous Prima Luna) and are so good that they come stock in several of their amplifiers.

Will work in place of: KT170

Testing and/or Matching

At VIVA TUBES, all of our customers get the same high standard of testing and matching. Some sellers charge more for premium matches but we believe all of our customers should get the same level of quality and service. 

Tubes are tested and/or matched at full operating voltage with regulated power supply on a Maxi Matcher tester for general mutual transconductance (Gm). In addition, power tubes are tested/matched by plate current (Ip) and preamp tubes are tested/matched by gain. Rectifier tubes will be tested for emissions on a calibrated military grade tube tester. 

Our goal is to match within 5% with an upper limit of 15% (15% is the industry limit to consider a set).

Hand written test data included.

Note that we do offer a few models which are tested & matched at the factory. They will be matched by the same parameters (Ip & Gm) but to the manufacturer's standards. Factory testing will be indicated in the item title and description. 

Guarantee

We offer a minimum 90 day guarantee covering functional defects - including noise unless otherwise stated. The guarantee period begins the day you receive your order.
