6550 and KT88 differences?


Can someone describe the tonal differences to me?

I'll be using it with a Primaluna Dialogue integrated amp.

I have a pair of Hurricanes and I use them with a new set of Chinese KT-88 tubes.
I was offered at a great price matched sets of new Ruby,A-R 6550 tubes with the VTL logo printed on (they were made for the VTL amps by the RUBY corporation) on the tube itself is the VTL logo and on the other side the number:
6550
A
USA
Those tubes look far better made than the Chinese KT-88's
Are they made in the USA and would they sound better than the KT-88 ?
