ARC Ref 3: Tung-Sol 6550 in power supply?

I have sourced a new production Tungsol 6550 from The Tube Store in Hamilton (Ontario); I intend to use it in the power supply of my ARC Ref 3. Has anyone had any experience with the Tung-Sol TS6550 in the Ref 3? Have you compared it with the original Winged "C" SED 6550C shipped by ARC with this
line stage? Preferences? Reasons?

hello forum members ,my local dealer supplied me a Tung-sol NOS 6L6WGB to try in my REF 3 , now the tube is 120 hrs in the amp .I like this upgrade . some month ago I also changed the other tubes to 6H30P-DR . This alltogether
made my REF 3 in my opinion a more musical machine .later on I will tell you the major upgrade my local dealer did in the REF 3 .This upgrade takes some more breakin time.
