That is the problem with Olsher reviews

Posted by TimB5881 on August 19, 2009 at 15:52:17:
He almost always rolls tubes. So the question arises, is this a valid review? I have to question that for 2 reasons, first the a new tube design is almost always designed around a new production tube (difficult to produce a design around a very limited NOS supply etc), second one can not always get the same tubes that Mr Olsher used to get his review goal (agin a limited NOS supply). One could also add that a subed tube, even if it is the same type of tube may have enough differences that the circuit may not do so well with this rolled tube. Just food for thought.
