Yes I do - and honestly I don't sell all that many tubes to guitar guys. A lot of tubes go out and I have no idea where they end up, but looking at the tube numbers it's highly doubtful they are going in musical instrument amp.

Thanks, that's good info. I guess I somewhat expected that. There are a lot of poor guitarists our there, and I'm sure many shop bottom dollar on eBay. Having access to matched and tested tubes like yours is a big help to the hi-fi crowd though. Not to mention your experience in knowing which tubes are likely to fail prematurely, which are least susceptible to microphonics, etc., etc.

Buy Chinese. Bury freedom.
Mike Matthews once confessed that he sold 9 tubes for MI use compared to one for audiophiles. What saved the audiophile community is the current MI stuff won't push the power tubes to distortion preferring the distortion from the input tubes ( MUCH better reliability).
Admittedly this was in the early 90's when he personally answered the phones....LOL!!!!
