In Reply to: By writing on the box flaps, have I compromised the value? posted by Sigmund on November 14, 2016 at 14:23:03:
I am one of those people who is a "bit much." I buy several NOS tubes a week, but I rarely buy a tube unless the box matches the tube exactly and is crisp and clean with no writing on it. It is easy to tell if a tube has been in and out of a box since it does deform the flap and cause it to "pucker" or tear slightly.
That said, I buy tubes in which most "audiophiles" have no interest. I never buy tubes with the type written on the box because that is a clear indication that the tube was a "pull" and put in the closest box by a technician replacing "good tubes." All that said, I too put the test data on a tube on the inside flap just as you have indicated that you do. I see nothing wrong with that, but it would be a clear indication that the tube has been tested, so might not be new.
