need to purchase a calibrated , small signal tube tester-why so difficult?!

Thanks so much @cleeds — talked to them a couple times already… They were very friendly! Excellent C.S.

Was going to bump up my high end to $1K, anyway…and, this is right there…a little more with a 6DJ8 adapter.

Appears to be an excellent value!

Thanks @tomcy6 … very helpful.

Great tip on the noise test too..

I did ask them about emissions. Disclaimer : Although I have an electronics degree etc…I know only the very basic things about tubes. But when he explained it…. It was basically that there are different ways to skin a cat….and that you could still confidently measure, manage and detect good vs bad. without?  But I do not want to put words in anyone’s mouth but my own.

But that’s a great question!!,

************

For anyone inclined : In Plain language, what is “Emission Testing “? Why do we need it?

Notice— I’m not looking to start a. “Do cables matter”-like SH#$STORM …so if you have an 🪓 to grind…please take it elsewhere.

I may start a separate thread…. Emission’s testing. What’s it good for? 🎶
(Never mind, I thought it was funny 😆)

Use Case: for an old audio guy who just wants to manage his small signal tubes.

Bump….

any last thoughts….I’m likely pullong the trigger on the mini2 when I put together the funds.

if I do purchase one, I’ll report back. No…I actually will😉

@audition__audio ​​@invalid ….thanks for the posts, noted and deeply appreciated!
