Simon Templar:
I know it's been a couple of months but wondering if any progress or update's speaking to Viva Tubes and if they made it right with you?
Paying $500 for matched pairs and receiving very badly matched tubes is not nice to hear nor encouraging.

I would expect they would take them back or exchange them?

Looking at their website, they're showing many shiny new looking tubes described as NOS at low prices. Is it too good to be true or they actually delivering as stated?

As stated in their descriptions

"Testing & Matching: Fully tested and/or matched by Gain & Gm on a modern Maxi Matcher Preamp tube tester. Checked for common faults like shorts. This is the best and only way to truly test a tube."

They have some tubes I'm interested in but looking for more assurances and feedback from others who've recently bought from them. thnx
