Middle pairing sounds familiar. It's been probably 20 years since I bought those Mullards from that guy. And, funny enough, when my older daughter wanted to learn to play the flute we went to the local music store to get her set up, and there he was! Turns out he wasn't just some guy who worked at the audio store, he's one of the most respected sax and ww players in the area and a well regarded music teacher.
I have to say that when I had to replace the GE 6550's, I really didn't notice much difference with the new production Tung Sols that I put in. Of course I no longer had anything to compare them to. I had the same experience with my 6sn7 based pre. I had NOS RCA's in there for a long time, but they went noisy so all I could afford were new production, and they sounded fine to me. Unfortunately there's also a pair of WE 417A's that this pre needs and those are now hard to find and lots of $$$. There are no new production replacements, so I'd either have to pony up $350/pr for WE's or try the other NOS ones available, which by most accounts are not nearly as good. Who knows if I'd be able to tell the difference though.
I'm going to give SS a try, I'm not really confident it'll give me what I like, but sometimes adjustments are required in life, so let the music play on.
