You got it!

Incidentally, there are reports of early failures
regarding the use of 12BZ7 tubes.

Plug-and-try, it seems, is incomplete. Logic is
better! People have simply plugged these into
circuits designed for 12AX7, etc., and thought they
heard something-- different. Trouble is, what are
the new operating points now? DID THEY CHECK THAT
against 12BZ7 Design-Center values? AND, try to
operate UNDER THOSE?

Just plunking a different tube into another tube's
circuit isn't useful tube life data!

The tube is no different in build than similar types
made by the same tube factory. Why would one age faster
than another? It's operating points and nothing else.

People can sometimes see a Deer in the Driveway
and report it as an Elk or even a Mule. It isn't!

Take the tube-roller reports for what they are--
skating on you-guess-it River Ice.

You can run most any tube for long hours if it's
built by a reputable company. Just operate it right.
