Thanksfully, only two tubes red plate out of 20 tubes. Some tube may red plate (even a little) due to the a little more sensitive grid voltage or some kind of shorts or leakage between elements.
Are you using those tubes with the redness on the plate? I think it's called a red plating!
And no, you don't want to match tubes with the color of the redness on the plate!

You did not understand my point. All 20 tubes red plated, but only 2 of them did it symmetrically.
Currently, I'm using it with the little red plating. This is a tube that doesn't mind it, deducing it by my own and the experience of others.
Yes, I did not understand before but now I do! You are one lucky guy to find all 20 tubes that will red plate at "normal operating condition" or you are pushing the tubes too hard so all of them are red plating.
What's so desirable about the sonic quality of the red plated tubes other than being somewhat useful in the Class C/D/E transmitters?

I'm pushing the tube a bit harder because the temptation for more power, the pushing of a tube in a more linear region and the lack of possibility to lower B+.

Alexander.
