Hi, As I said in my earlier thread i'm looking for some advice on output valves I had a set of Tungsol 6550 in the amp before and liked them because I found them quite musical but now fancy a change has anyone compared the Tad's to the Tungsol's,i would love to know there impressions.
Thanks for looking
Happy Listnering
