Understand, Thanks. Yesterday I reached out to a good friend / retired ex-tech this week with a huge collection, a few thousands tubes, collected over the past fifty years. As a former customer and co-designer-helper for his speakers, he permits me to borrow and try anything before I go out and buy. It's been a big help in the past. I checked and he has several sets of these mentioned here. if an extra special or an ultra rare tube is worth trying out, I can give it a go. He gave me an update on these and recommended a few others. Thx.
