Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: "Matched" power tubes, what am i missing?

Matching is only for the conditions under which the tubes are tested.

Were they "matched" for both Gm and current draw?

Matching is usually considered within 10%. If they were matched for a target of 90 mA current draw, then a 9 mA difference may be considered matched.

The # of hours on a tube will also have an effect.

Did the tubes come marked with the test conditions and results?

If it is a reputable dealer, I would let them know and see if something can be worked out for an exchange.
