great answer. Only one thing to add; if you are paying any kind of a premium for test results on tubes you should find out when the tester was calibrated.
Understanding Tube Test Results
I've owned a vacuum tube based pre for about six months and am ready to start experimenting with different 12au7 and 12ax7 tubes.
If a seller refers to test results in the following format:
Tube 1 3000/3000
Tube 2 3100/3200
Min = 1800
What does it mean? (The numbers are made up for sake of the example)
I've searched all over and couldn't find an explanation. Thanks in advance for your input.
