RE: Curious....

Like the VT50 The CA50 does have a tendency towards a lean sound but using KT88 outputs ( i tried Sovetek, Shuguang,EH and Gold Lion) just exacerbates the problem. I went the opposite way and used re-issue Tungsol 6550's which have a big warm sound (in some applications way too warm) and they balanced the Sound out quite nicely. BTW since the demise of the SED/Winged"C" 6550 ARC now is recommending Sovetek 6550 and despite my misgivings in this amp they were not bad. YMMV .
