thanky :-D thought i should should mention i just got done taking and doing a tube shoot out with groove tube branded sovtek 12AX7's,nos tung-sol12AX7's,reissue tung-sol 12AX7's and my JJ Tesla 12AX7's and by far the tung-sol was all me in this amp as far as which was better the nos tung-sol had more mids and a fat bottom but the reissue surprised me by how close they sounded to the nos i dont know if i just got lucky and got 3 really good reissue's or if its just hope for a reissue but i was close enough for me not to pay for nos tung-sol's anymore alot cheaper lol.

anyone got any suggestions on who makes the best 6550 tube that sound great in a model t?

most of my Ts for whatever reason have GE 6550s which i guess are no longer made-i havent checked, so i hope these last a hellava long time.
they have the most powerful tone of all! ymmv
