How true.
And tube that does not test so well, can still be quite pleasing. I recently tested the two 6BQ5s in one of my SET amps. One was under minimum on the test, the other slightly above. I popped them back in. They sound fine to me. I've been running them for a few months. Words of caution? Not needed if there are any. If it harms my amp, no big deal...I'll just pull another one off the shelf.
Don't know if it's the weakish tubes, the accuracy of the recording, or other factors (high volume), but sometimes I hear some distortion from Neil Young's guitar that sounds like the breakup I'd hear coming out of a guitar amp. If it's my amp, I love it. It's playing the music I (notice I said I) want to hear it....distortion and all.
