I do think it's a defect, but the company offered a refund in full. The OP should have shipped the tubes back and left the company name out of the discussion. I understand his frustration, but I know of no audio retailers who can test high power transmitting tubes under actual operating conditions. Most can't even test a 6L6. As bad as that can sometimes be when purchasing Western tubes, purchasers of Chinese tubes must be willing to accept additional compromises and to expect more frequent defects, both being quality issues generally reflected in the lower cost of Chinese products. Above all, it makes no sense to blame the retailer for any of this.
