RE: EL84 / 6BQ5 Matched Quad Recommendations

My favorites are the Siemens E84L Is I remember correctly they were sold for a special application requiring matched tubes, The mythology is that Siemens never sold any of those that did not match any other Siemens E84L.

In the past when I bought them, they all tested the same.

I scanned eBay and see Siemens E84Ls being sold with RTC label.

My other favorite is Tungsram EL84.

Oh. I seem to remember that one has to ckeck how socjets for EL84s are wired to see if E84Ls can be used.
