Mr P- Kevin Deal(Upscale Audio) sells both of those tubes. His testing, matching and burn-in procedures are second to none. The last set of Winged 'C's, that I purchased from him, lasted me over four years(at hard labor). I've since gone back to the(NOS) GE 6550A(at over five times the cost). I'm hoping that when that supply runs out, the Winged 'C' will still be in production. BTW: I wouldn't call the Genelex, "mushy." Just somewhat warmer than natural. Some systems are a bit threadbare, and can use the added color. Enjoy your music! (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/KT88/)
Replacing 6550s with KT 88s
I am currently using Winged C 6550s in my Conrad Johnson LP 70S power amp and am very happy with the performance etc. Some tube sites recommend an upgrade to Genalex Gold Lion KT 88s in place of 6550s. Would love to hear from CJ or ARC owners or others who have experience of this.
Many thanks
