“This is the best my system has ever sounded since I replaced the EH KT88 with the Tung-Sol 6550. The bass is more dynamic and controlled, the mid-range is true, but the highs are missing a little bit of sparkle. However the balance is perfect for my system. Kevin Deal assured me that he knew what he was doing when he recommended these tubes for the Cary V-12 mono blocks (24 tubes) to drive my Maggie 3.6's speakers. Right now I'm tickled to death, and having an audiogasm. Thank you Kevin!”

“I have been rolling tubes through my Cary V12i special edition mono blocks with Jensen oil capacitors for sometime now. So for Xmas I called Kevin Deal for a recommendation and he said give the TS6550 a try (24 - tubes). Man was he right on. Kevin, "Get down with your bad self ! " The balance is the best I've heard on my Maggie 3.6's. The bass is very defined, the midrange is absolutely true, and the top end is clear, but not bright. A definite and substantial improvement over the EH KT88's, Sovtek EL34,s. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7... now I sit in my room and hear heaven, or close to it.”
