Bought some Ge 5 star 5814's that sound good for about 2 days then turn microphonic . I popped em in to check em and thought they were good and put my ref tubes back in . about a month and a half later I put em back in and after several days I noticed thet had started to sound shouty . Tapped on the chassis and was very surpised at how microphonic they had become . I've cheched em twice since and same thing . they were warrantied for 1 month so I didn't call the the guy , but I've also never had a tube become microphonic after they had been in a while , always microphonic from the start .I'm not griping , just thought it was a weird experience . My conclusion was that it was my bad for not testing them better . I've bought tubes only once since and have done a long burn in with them , not just 1 day and pop em back out again .
