Tube roll


I have a Cary 120S amp that uses 2 quads of KT88 power tubes. I'm new to the tube rollin thing but love the sound the tubes add to my system. I'm wondering if there is anyone out there that has tried the KT 90's in this amp and what was thwere experience?

KT-90's have a little more power than KT-88's or 6550's. They might have a little (very little) tighter base, but do not have the richness in the midrange that the other tubes have, IMO. I have a pair of MFA-M200 mono amps and have rolled KT-88's and various kinds of 6550's. I recently put in RAM 6550's which are matched by RAM Labs and are actually Sovtek 6550 WD's. These are the best tubes that I have tried on these amps.
