6550 vs KT88 vs KT90


From what I hear, these tubes are interchangable on most amps it seems that the 6550 is the least loved tube of the bunch. What are the sonic differences of these tubes? Thanks in advance for your reply.

I replaced my Svetlana 6550C with the new Svetlana KT 88 tubes for my Melos 11 ST 90 amplifier and there is a very big improvement in the bass, midrange, highs, power output, clarity etc. Also, Svetlana KT 88 sounds way better than my former GE 6550A. Regards. Slore
