Re: 6550 closest to GE. Current production only

The EH KT88 is a good tube. Per Jim McShane, it's a little shrill until it has a few hours under its belt.

SED ("flying C"/=C=) 6550Cs are OEM in many amps of recent vintage. IMO, that's not an accident, as the tube is quite decent.

Chinese KT88s aint junk and are worth a tumble.

BTW, AA sponsor Jim McShane still has stock of NOS GE 6550As. Get 'em before they become history.
