Quad Of Tubes vs Two Matched Paira?


Like the title says I’m curious about using two matched pairs of power tubes rather than a matched quad. I don’t really see how this would be a problem but I’m pretty new to tubes so thought I should check before purchasing.

No problem but I always get matched sets so everything is as balanced as it can be. 

Is the cost much higher when ordering a matched quad instead of two matched pairs?

When i had a power amp with 8 output tubes i always preferred to get them in matched quads, made me happier.

depends on the amp... and how power tube bias is adjusted in it... if it is done for each tube pair, then you are ok with matched pairs instead of a matched quad
