Sellers who test for emissions and shorts are already a considerable step up the ladder from those who don't. Sometimes noise and microphonics can be detected by testers, sometimes not. I think it's asking more than most sellers have time, equipment and inclination to do for them to actually listen to tubes in stuff like phono preamps where noise matters critically. I've found the huge majority of dealers to be genuine and willing to help and provide refunds. In return I don't ask them to do testing outside of their usual habits. Buying and selling is a two way deal - I like to stay good friends with my regular suppliers, they like to stay good friends with me.
