new to tubes


Just purchased a tube integrated that is powered by KT88s. The amp allows for swapping those with EL34s or 6550s. Would you be able to describe, in general, what the 'sound characteristic differences in these three tube types are? Thanks

Facten ; are you sure that it says EL34 and not EL84 ? The 84's are usually transferable with 6550's and KT 88's .
What model is the amplifier in question ?
My bust , sorry for the incorrect info .

Facten ; welcome to the tube side !
Enjoy .
