HOw close are they? IOW, how close do the tubes match triode to triode and tube to tube? In this case, these are not output tubes, but some amps (my Joule, for example) provide for biasing of small signal tubes.
Matched Tubes - Is there really a big difference??
Have a few Tung-Sol 6SN7 tubes but they are not matched pairs. I own a Counterpoint power amp modified to use two 6SN7 tubes. It is a hybrid power amp, tube ins with SS output. Will I hear a big difference if the tung-sols are not a matched pair? What exactly will I hear or be missing? The matched pairs go for $350-$400 ouch.
Thanks.
Thanks.
