Newbie Question about Replacing Tubes

I have a set of 6550 tubes in a music amp that I want to replace - 4 6550 tubes. *Can I replace them with ANY 6550 OR KT88's? *I kind of gathered from the forums I've checked that I can, but I want to be certain. Also, I'm thinking of getting either the Tung Sol 6550 or the Electro-Harmonix KT88 to replace the current EH 6550's. Are these good choices? Also, what do you think of the Svetlana 6550's - are these OK? If the anode supply is under 500Vdc, usually any 6550 or KT88 are OK to plug in without any modification. I have found that the Ra, gm and µ of the The EH KT88 and EH 6550 are exactly the same and the internals look the same. I am not sure if "winged C" genuine Svetlana 6550 are better sounding than other 6550 or KT88. Ppl argue about the sound and they all cannot be right. Patrick Turner. |
