I have never thought the extra $ brought by JAN (military) tubes was justified. A tubes ability to withstand shock and vibration has nothing to do with how this tube will sound. Further many military tubes are the same internally as their civilian counterparts just (supposedly) tested to the shock and vibration standard by the mfgr. for military use.
Vacuum tubes: Radio tubes, TV tubes, Audio tubes
Are tubes used in radio or TV different from audio tubes used in power amps and preamps?
If they are different (i.e., if tubes used in radios and TVs are different from tubes used in amp/preamps) what are the use of radio and TV tubes?
I don't see any people caring about tube radios and tube TVs as they care about tube amps, but I see a bunch of ads in eBay for selling radio/TV tubes, and just wonder.
