I actually have many more of those in amps as well as in boxes..I just put some loose ones I had up and took a photo for reference.
I'll be honest with you. Genelex KT88 reissues are dam good sounding tubes and they are very close to the originals and in many applications they are better.Yhe KT66 reissues are identical to the vintage gray glass and several people have said this as well.
My favorite 6550/KT88 is still the TungSol black plates but depending on which new production tubes you buy,they have come very close to them.
I also love the solid gray plates but not quite as much but very close.
