winged c 6550c is not good for ref 5se??

@Jtimothya,

Of course ARC wouldn't recomend the use of Vintage Valves in their equipment, they don't retail them !

I am rather surprised at your findings with regard to GE6550!!! Which I have never yet found applicable to the several GE's that I have rolled as the regulator in a Ref5se, and for my part leave the stock Sovtek sounding a tad etched and sterile in comparison.That said I have no experience of the same comparison in a Phono 2.

Are you certain that you tried an 100%, or close to, emissions example?

Jtimothya..thanks for letting know your point of view.Ill have a little play with the 6550 just to know.

Hi,Tsushima1,the ge and the winged c sound good thanks.They seem smoother on my older recordings ,which is nice.Have you tried the tungsol black plate.1950s

Where did you get winged c ? . I want to try them on my system.

Hi,Tube Maze.They are very good to deal with,$70 was the price for one.
