Dear NewbeeMy amps needs 8x6550 valves aside. They are terribly expensive to retube or to borrow to try.
I have used Sovtek KT88 and Sovtek 6550. I also tried the Chinese KT88 before. The Sovtek KT88 could not take 480V on the B+ which is required for my amps. The Sovtek 6550 were good but not as good as the Svet 6550. Most of my experiences on KT88 tested in my amps or others seem to tell me that they have great harmonic structure and are very open sounding, however their bass tends to be either overly ripe or soft but never lean.
My hope is that the EH 6550 (with new KT88 bottles) does the job, as they are easily available and affordable.
Cheers
