Call me picky, but I have some great 6550s Tung sol (GEs) they make the MC60s just sound wonderful, NOS 1964s I think.. A set of 8 NOS would be 2k easy more like 3-4k.
KT88s sound NOTHING like a 6550, 6550 is US made KT88 is across the pond stuff. The old Golden lyon is another great valve, but to be honest higher failure rates, than I'm use to.. (the new stuff anyways).
A lot of the newer KT88 stock is real close in sonics, to me. But a
1957-68 or so GE 6550. Just one step beyond better...
PSVANE is a real good valve, you might want to look into that one to..
Very positive reviews from some pretty snobbish valve guys...
Regards
