Күн бұрынFor tube rollers and and tube gear owners! When you buy tube sets - do they need to be matched? New, used vintage or NOS.....our angle is purely simple.

Ok But tou got to Try!!! My ears can hear input stage mismatching on Tubes or OP-AMPS. Im not a fan of tube power/rectification so I use a heated tubes that allows low voltage to high on PreAmp just for color

Your point is well taken and especially since you brought up the shipping part. Some don’t get it. That is the real of it just as you stated.

I had some tubes from UK . I was wondering but anyway they got here. Loved your demo, years ago i bought a multi meter . The dealer said was very robust and had a life warranty. He chucked it across the room at rhe wall. " see still good " he said. I said i will take it and picked another off the shelf.

Thank you kindly for contributing to my channel. It is sincerely appreciated. Every once in awhile, I just can not resist the opportunity to be animated to get people to both think and remember what they are doing. The only company that really listened to what they were inserting was Naim Audio under Julian Vereker. Yes, they were their transistors and what they were checking for was noise.

Very interesting and you make an absolutely valid point! I recently replaced - upgraded - the tubes on my Rogue Audio amp. I bought them direct from the manufacturer and they were a tested, matched set. Did they arrive in one piece? Yes! They were also shipped direct from Rogue Audio, which is about 40 miles away from me. They were packed with care, in quite a cushioned box and they were "Next Day Express - Fragile". So, I'd imagine there are exceptions to the general treatment of shipped packages.

As I said to another, distance can be a critical factor in what happens during shipping. By the way, marking a package Fragile actually increases the risk of damage. Great article about that in Popular Science.

@@audibleeleganceinc For me, it matters that I trust the folks at Rogue Audio. They provide outstanding customer service and are never too busy to discuss products! You actually get to develop a "relationship" with their personnel who are typically quite talented engineers. It's why I'll stick with them.

I could not resist doing it and it was in front of a customer who did ask that question. I just wanted to drive the point home and sometimes I can be really spontaneous. I have had experience with "matched" tubes and when I put them in they rang like all hell. Now, was the seller dishonest? Maybe, maybe not. However, I am quite familiar with the gods of conveyor belts and know quite well people are to knock blocking packages off the belt and let them drop 20 feet. My son almost took a job doing that at one of the hubs. Likewise, when parcels are shipped USPS, they all drop into big dumpsters and heavy items may come crashing down on light ones. So, to be honest, it's reality.
