RE: 6S17K planer to GU-15

You are correct. I bought 10 of them and found it very easy to swap them and match them up into pairs. There was considerable variation.

As far as I can tell, they are very un-microphonic, which is rare in a direct heated tube as far as I know. Compared to the 6N6P tube I also tried, they sounded very un-tube like, which may or may not appeal to listeners. I found I was hearing more detail with them than with other tubes I have tried in a similar parafeed topology. Considering their low cost, I think they are terrific to play with.
