In Reply to: Newbie question : 6550 vs. KT88 vs. KT90 posted by Ignace on October 4, 1999 at 15:14:30:
I own a Graaf 50/50 which can use either of the three tubes in question. I have only tried the KT-90's and the SV 6550C. I own Spendor 9/1's, A/I Mod 3A, EAD Ultradisc 2000 with HT cables.Though in the minority, I like the 6550's better and I sold the KT-90's. The 90's were a bit dry to my ears and kind of flat. They were extended on top and seemed to have more slam on the bottom. However, at the end of the day they were not as liquid in the midrange and overall the KT-90's aren't as musical as the 6550C which is important to me. I ended up selling the KT-90's and applied the proceeds to upgrade my speaker cable. From XLO to HT.
