I never worried about any of that

As usual I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong or voice a contrary opinion, but I just looked for unused tubes of the same type and date with a good reputation for sound. Never thought twice about any sort of matching within or between tubes after reading up on the issue and initial concern over it. Only time I have ever worried about that is for pairs in a push-pull amp. And I never noticed balance problems or performance problems in my Seduction (or FPII, III, Paramamounts, or S.E.X. amp). It just never seemed important enough to me to pay for. And I am on to the Eros now and just buying the same sort of tubes.

It would be interesting to take an unmatched set and compare them to a closely matched set and see if you could hear the difference.
