6550 vs. KT88

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

My amp can use either of these tubes, what are the pros & cons of each.
I've heard that some KT88's have a better midrange than 6550's and the KT88 can handle higher plate voltages. I realize that tonal qualities can vary with munufacturers.
