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

After having owned two EL34 push-pull amps, I would hazard a guess that the bass from these tubes has as much to do with other design elements as the tubes themselves. I would suspect the output transformers first of all.
