6550 replacements for upgraded CD7


Hi,
Is it OK to use any 6550 equivalent (KT88, KT90, etc) in an upgraded CD7 power supply?
Thanks.

Hi, just to align the discussion with my other thread, the use of the 6550 was real life tried by some EU audiophiles and for them it has been working flawlessly.
Nevertheless, not wanting to breach any ARC policy, I'll have a word with Calvin on this topic before I proceed.

On a slightly different note, as this tube goes in the power supply section, how important is it, sound-wise, to go for some fancy NOS tubes other than modern, cheaper, models?

Cheers.
