Re: EH 6550 with KT88 shaped bottles

I have just checked the current catalog from New Sensor's website
which is the most accurate source

The New Sensor dealer flyer I have is more accurate, but that's
not completely accurate either.Actually, the only accurate
method of figuring out what they're up to is to break into their
warehouse in Queens after hours, but the owner and his dogs live there, too, so I wouldn't recommend it.

- as they own both brands.
There is no such thing as a EH KT88, only Sovtek KT88.

Sure there is. Want some? They're the same price as
Svetlana 6550-C.

I clicked in to see the picture of the EH 6550. It is indeed a 6550 with KT88 shaped bottle.

Vaguely at best, it looks more like something in between a Tungsol
6550 and a KT88.

By the way, what should I be expecting to pay for Svet 6550. The
prices bandid around on the net has risen significantly over the last few years

About $50 a pair. In 1998, we were selling them for $43, that's
not like a huge jump.

Perhaps that is why there are persistant rumours that they are no longer in production.

More like because their original US distributor went belly up
awhile ago. Rumors spread & persist on the internet like kudzu,
ya know.
They have a new US distributor, everything's just fine, AFAIK.
