Re: D70 power supply 6550 - What effect replacement?

I had a D50 same style as yours but lower power. I would use the same tube as the matched pairs or a 6550A. As best as I can remenber I ran the outputs at max current and had to replace this about twice as often as the power tubes. This tube passes all the current and does have a great effect on sound, so mine best advice... Do not go cheap on this tube.

Hopefully enought info.

Tubes always go bad on weekends, have spares............

Cats are good room treatments, you should have 2 Or 3.
