The 6550 has a large base that doesn't fit in the tube retainer/clamp.

How do you deal with the tube retainers? Do you just smash it down? Or do they need to be removed?

Thanks.

BTW, I have a Lynch head, and in old mags he used to talk about using 6550's. I have a set just gathering dust, so why not?

Currently I'm running two EL34 and two E34L (or EL34L can't remember).

Looking for more bottom end at lower volumes.
 
Yeah I had to remove them when I tried 6550's.

I liked the 6CA7's for more bottom with the EL34 vibe.
 
Thanks. Glad I didn't just smash the clamps down LOL.

These 6550s are gathering dust. The RM100 is the only amp I have that can use them.
