RE: Old stock Tungsol 6550s

Well I have had the 3th version of solid black plates. Yes Top getters only - 1 top and 2 getters on 1 side and the 1 top and 1 getter on each side. It was a very late 1959 production pair. I agree the solid grey plate does sound different from the black plate (ever so slightly less bass and just a hair more mid range). Very musical sounding tubes with a mid range that rivals the EL34's but more bass punch and highs. And very different sounding than the original GEC KT88.
