Point taken... if a tube costs two or three times as much but lasts five or six times longer
and sounds better, it's gotta be a bargain right?
My amp runs two 6V6s yet is only rated @ 10W, which points to a puny Chinese PT...running that through really good NOS tubes would be a bit like lipstick on a pig IMO.
