6550 or KT88 ?



I've got CJ Premier 12's and have read a lot about the SED Winged Svetlana KT88.

Is it really going to be less "HiFi" and more musical if I substitute my existing Svetlana 6550C with the SED KT88?

Your Svetlana 6550C could be a Sovtek, if two years old or less, it almost certainly is.

In that case, swapping for Wing C 6550 or KT88 are both better sound in my opinion. Wing C is the tube that was called "Svetlana" three years ago.

The trademark name was lost somehow and causes confusion when discussing this topic.
