>>Any sense if the 6H30Pi is equally silent when kicked?<<

When I first pulled the tube out of the box, I gave it a little tap (it wasn't plugged in to anything). What I heard sounded like the mica rattling against glass that lasted for about 4-5 seconds. There is a little wafer of what appears to be mica hanging in between the getter and the mica spacers used on the plates. I have no idea why it is there. Anyway, after plugging the tube(s) in and whacking the box with a sledgehammer or two, I feel the 6H30Pi is just as ruggedly built as the 6N1P.
