No kidding. I just put them in there and started up; two of them scared me! I find it interesting that the general folklore seems to be, 'flare, hey, no problem!' It don't look cool to me, and I seem to recall some Sylvania yellow 12AX7s from my ancient history that did that and failed early.I'll burn them in awhile, and A-B with the Hitachis today. If the Japanese tubes are actually the daddy, I'll probably go get some more. One of my main ebay guys sells hundred bulk nests of them for $150; I already have two of them, so what could go wrong? I can tell you already that the Hitachis are a noticeable sonic improvement from the best of the 5965s, and the section matching problem that puts about a third of my 5965s in the circular file is a non-starter. Out of a hundred 6GKs, I get about 20 tight (1% or less) quads.
A Hui Hou,
Poinz
