I have both the Winged C 6550s and the Gold Lion reissue. They're both nice tubes. I find that for my taste, in the current system set up I have, that I prefer the Gold Lions. The Winged C 6550s are a powerful tube, more pronounced in the high end; a bit in your face, at least in my system. The Gold Lions are more laid back so, to my ears, they sound a bit more detailed and dynamic.
