Dissimilar triodes tested at 104/94 & 104/98

on a calibrated B&K 247B tube tester

Where the Good range is 65-120

*We use the following testers:

* Calibrated B&K 247B tube tester

*Dan Nelson calibrated TV-7D/U with sweep tube adapters, & digital meter with plate current test at 150V.

*Paul Hart calibrated/modified Westmore 501 (Triplett 3444)

Not tested for noise or microphonics

Test results may differ between various testers for many reasons such as technical design, aging components, etc. So while test results are a good indication of quality there can be some difference between the many differently designed & maintained testers.

The following definitions are mine as I use them.
'Balanced' refers to comparing the gm test results between the lowest to the highest sections of a single tube. Within 3% I consider to be 'Balanced'.

'Matched' refers to comparing the gm test results between the lowest to the highest of all the sections of a set of tubes.
     'Matched' I consider to be within 10%.
     'Closely Matched' I consider to be within 5%.
     'Tightly Matched' I consider to be within about 2%.
