As I said in my response to your post, they ceratinly appear genuine. I do not doubt that they are actual Tung-Sol tubes just that in the dozens of TS 6550 that I own, I've never seen that date code scheme of tubes that are branded "Tung-Sol". Other companies such as Tung-Sol 6550s branded RCA? Yes.
Quite honestly I've never noticed a change in sound as NOS Tung-Sol 6550s have burned-in. Maybe I was just too happy with them to begin with.
Enjoy your Tung-Sols. Your description of how they sound versus old stock GEC KT88 and Ei-KT90 sounds pretty well identical to my own.
