Yep, I have them driving my KT88's as a long-tailed pair with a true current source in the tail. Sounds excellent.

Hi there...the funny thing is.....recently I've put some replacement clone 6550 tubes in my MI amp and thev'e sounded brill... later found out that they were earlier versions of Svetlana 6550B with eroded markings.....I enquired about them...never to hear a reply from Svet nor have they ever explained the differences between 6550WA/WB series.......nor has there been a spec produced for the masses to see.
Question...Has anyone got something in a spec about these tuebs ?

Hi,

Nope, I did some nosing around but could not find anything useful.
I know that the 6550 has a max. platedissipation of 35W and the 6550A is supposed to handle 42W, like the KT88. Also max. voltages are a bit higher.

Apart from that, the Svetlana website seems to be down, or have they simply moved? It used to be www.svetlana.com

I've tried that link........dead ....no sign of life. I can only assume like alot of business in Russia have mysteriously disappeared, corrupt and untraceable. Someone must know better.

Umm... sort of. The US distributor of Svetlana went under, and sold out to New Sensor (i.e. of Sovtek and EH fame) and a court battle ended with the US rights to use the Svetlana name owned by New Sensor. Hence, the original Svetlana valves (from the Svetlana factory in Russia) had to find a new name. So now there are two Svetlanas!

Well, that's how I think it happened.

There sure are stuff on the site, just click "the rest of the world"

Clicking on "Rest of the World" just gives me a message that the site does not provide a service to the US and Canada.
