I've found they do a fairly decent job on many (not all, but most) power tube Gm readings - but as you say - what test conditions were the tubes subjected to?
Hey, Gm readings on a given tube vary from one tester to another - so the Gm range that works best in Mike's amp may be significantly different from what would be shown in another tester.

They will probably give testing conditions if we ask. We can only assume they're "very good" or "less good" right now.

From what I remember reading as well as talking to Myles at Groove Tubes,Hifi applications typically like higher GM readings than say guitar tubes which a lot of those guys seem to want a higher distortion product.I've always thought of the EH 6CA7 fat bottle as decent for the money but the 2 quads I have were in the 7200 to 7500 GM range.The 3rd quad I have that tests at 8300,is far and away exceptional.These tubes are 2012 while the others were from 2008 and one of those quads came with an amp I bought.Are they using dual halo getters on the new EH 6CA7s or was that a one time thing?
