Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Re: Were the tubes supposed to be burned in and matched?

Hi Dave, that is an excellent point that you have just made!! These tubes were supposedly matched before shipping. Maybe that smell lasts for longer then a couple of hours? I really don't know. I don't understand why new production tubes should be matched, I mean they should all be somewhat identical no? But I do the matched bit anyway. This phenomenon occurs in all the tubes that I have bought be it small signal tubes or power tubes for both my stereo and guitar amps.
