Has anyone purchased these tubes and what are your impressions of the sound?

I have Tung-Sol 6550 reissues in my ARC VT-130 and would like to add a degree of warmth and richness to the sound.

I do like what these tung-sol tubes do. It's always fun to bring out a little something different in the sound. I would say this set-up does sound rich, just not very rich. I should give the McIntosh a listen! Don

Waiting for their arrival and looking forward to the sound. Yes, best to stay with what the amp was designed to use.
