I agree, and I am working through it with the dealer. Of course, to the dealer I'm the idiot until proven otherwise. I can deal with that if it gets me to a resolution.

In the meantime, I'm posting here to make sure I didn't miss anything that could be related to my gear (or my being an idiot). They aren't NOS but I still paid for a matched pair. I have a pair of Valve Art (Chinese) EL34's that were dead on when I first put them in and they are only 2ma apart after 30 or 40 hours. JJ's were about 1.5ma apart when I first got them and after probably close to 100 hours were about 3.5ma apart.

At any rate, based on the above, and common logic that if it stays with the tube when I swap sockets, it must be the tube, I don't think I'm missing anything. But I wanted to check here with folks who are smarter than I am.

Thanks
