tube question for ARC Ref 3 users


Are you using a standard 6550 C tube in power stage or have you found other solutions? I'm using 6L6GC at the moment. My humble opinion is that sound is better with 6L6GC (better resolution with same musicality). Any other ideas?

PBB, actually I had heard that the pros at ARC switched to 6550C because of non-pro customer findings.
Mkilpi, what do you think of the Tung-Sol 6550? Is it a Tung-Sol original (50-60's version) or a recent version?
I've heard some say that a original Tung-Sol 6550 from the 60's is the way to go, though I haven't experimented yet on my own.

Cheers,
John
