Re: Atma-Centric tube tester (trial baloon)

24.164.206.112

I think the idea has real merit, myself. I have a 539C, but it only tests emission for 6AS7's. I have set it up in the past to test mutual conductance of 6AS7's at close to the Atma operating point, but I think it was a strain on the tester.

Another possible use: Burning-in 6AS7's prior to use in the amp. If the unit has sockets for six tubes, and could operate in a "filament only" mode, this would be very helpful in preparing tubes for service as many have recommended over the years for longevity.

It would be nice to be able to sort tubes quickly with such a tester.
