[QUOTE="Ampdog, post: 846374, member: 144"] Very good description Marantz123! Kent, Yaaah ..... some makes rather hurriedly put together. Unneat underside (connections electrodes to pins); I occasionally had to wonder about a short. (A G2 flat lead cut off at an angle, with sharp point no half-millimeter from say G1. But no internal sparking. The breakthrough voltage in vacuum quite substantial.) Does 'neatness/consistency' matter if the valve tests well - I guess not. But if I have to choose, It would be the neater valve. Consistency of construction: The most consistent in my experience: The Tung-Sol 6L6GC/STR (special tube replica). Some 30 examples used here. [i]But please: I have not looked at/inside nearly all brands on the market![/i] [/QUOTE]
