Quick question about new valves. I've never changed the power tubes in my amp before and my existing set are starting to get a bit long in the tooth. I've just a got a matched quad (Svet 6550C) from Watford Valves. The replacements are nominally identical in every way to the original set. However, they sound dire. A really congested sound, very harsh in the treble and subjectively quieter - although this could be an artifact of the congested sound. This isn't subtle - it's night and day. Is this just the fabled 'burning in' period? Cheers = John
