KT88s for Audio Research VS55

Is it possible to use KT88s for the AR VS55 amp? Has anyone done this - I hear that they are quite different than the 6550 tube. I just replaced the input tubes w/ Sovtek cryo tubes and the difference is stunning, to say the least.

Thanks

I read somewhere (don't remember where) that apparently Audio Research does not approve the use of KT88s in their amps. If I were you I would call them and ask to be sure.

How do you like the VS55 vs the Krell?
