I try not to buy used power tubes, since the "NOS" ones can be very pricey with very few of them truly New Old Stock - especially with DHTs.

I have had a couple of KT88 amps, and used a fair few 6550s in there as well. The 60s Tung Sol 6550s were very nice, but pricey. Penta tubes (a reseller that did a lot of QC on Shuggie tubes) were very nice, but you cant get them anymore. But, I think the best option now is the Golden Lion reissue KT88s.

Jim McShane is a highly reputable seller, is a joy to do business with, and is into restoring old Citation amps as well.
