| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Ohio, USA | | | You guys are awesome. I can't believe there isn't a website with SVT pictures showing the basic differences clearly!
I explained how to look for the codes on the pots. If anyone knows a site with pictures showing these pots and codes, please link.
Thanks!

| | | | The one you have pictured is of the right era. If it sounds good and the price is reasonable I'd buy it. |

between 6550 -4146 tubes,
sound quality, power and refinement.
What are the best valves? |

| | | | The difference between 6550s and 6146bs in the power section of the early 70s SVTs that I've heard is subtle to my ears. |
