TESTED AND MATCHED by experienced engineers using Amplitrex tube testers to evaluate the electrical parameters of the tubes. Tubes are evaluated for plate current (ip), mutual conductance, heater/cathode leakage, gas and noise. If any deficiencies are found the tubes are not sold. Less than 50% of the 6P1P-EV tubes we test and audition pass our standard for high fidelity audio use and are used in our Platinum Grade sets.
TEST RESULTS CLEARLY MARKED on the tube boxes with data for both ip and Gm attached to the individual tube boxes. The tubes chosen for these matched pairs have close electrical parameter matching (ip and Gm are within 5%). Individual matched pairs will have identical manufacture date codes.
