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.

The SED reissues are very nice tubes. They're a bit more "open" sounding then the originals, but they also lack some of the authority of the original 6550. Overall, for ~$60/pr, they are a great value.
