Generally, KT88 have more body/meat in the sound, but also found them much musical. Personally I compared NOS 6550 TUNG SOLS Black smooth plated and NOS GEC KT88. I also tried NOS 6550 Sylvania's, but didnt liked them that much. After all, it would be your personal choice, but after GEC KT88 nothing been better for me. Dont forget about pre-section, which is also very important, which have a huge influence in the whole. My amp was PrimaLuna Prologue Two
Need help picking between 6550 and KT88 tubes
I have a Tube Audio Design TAD-60 and currently have a set of EL34 and 6CA7.
I'm looking to get a matched quad set of either 6550 or KT88.
I've read they are very similar, but would like to ask about the pros/cons of each.
Any input or recommendations would be appreciated.
Thanks
James
