Love the pictures- and I’m going to ask an off topic question - appologies
I see you’re on a microscope table - which stillpoints are those and what do you hear over the feet on the table itself? Do you also have stillpoints under the motor unit?
Asking because I’m also a verdier user!
cheers...

you’ve given me some food for thought!
Many thanks

Thanks chaps - in terms of actual tube recommendations, I need to be practical. I need 16 tubes for these amps, so NOS would be very challenging. Likely limited to new production - VTL themselves recommend the Gold Lion KT88 reissue, My question was what changes would I expect between 6550 and...
Hi All
looking for a new tube set for my VTL MB450 series 1 amps. Can you give me a compare and contrast in sound quality between the 6550 and KT88 please?
