Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

the more I am persuaded an emissions/short only tube tester has significant limitations for predicting tube performance.

So what _can_ I reliably claim to prospective buyers about the two dozen+ used/NOS EL-509s I have stockpiled for the past 20 years after testing them with a B&K 607 (or other emissions tester if the goofball that sold me the 607 ever delivers it)?

Since I am preparing to sell my Transcendent Sound T8-LN OTL (just too hot in sin city to use it much) I figure to include the tube stockpile in the amp sale, and want to include only "good" tubes that are safe and effective to use in th amp in the future for replacements.
