Need advice for russian reissue of tunsol 6550

Hello to all,

I already have a good idea of which are best after reading the VTV magazine dedicated to KT88/6550 valves(a great issue).

My request here is to get opinions on the sonic qualities of the Tungsol 6550 russian reissue.

Can't find any decent review/feedback,how do they compare to the original Tungsol NOS production?

Or even to the JJ KT88 which are top on the VTV list for new production besting even NOS valves when use for home audio.

I maybe getting a rogue 88 amp and would like to make the right decision on a tube quad purchase.

Thxs for any infos you can provide.

Thxs guys,

I guess I can be positive that it is a good tube just not what the originals were which is not too surprising.

I will figure out what to get the JJ KT88 is considered best for home audio but not for guitar amps,Wonder how Tungsol and JJ would compare.

If you guys want I can try to email copies of the VTV magazine tests forKT88/6550 valves.

One test was done with home audio amps.
The other with guitar amps.

Very thorough reviews done by 6,7 reviewers in same room.

thxs again and let me know.
