RE: Going towards 6a3 or 6B4G

Andy, this mystifies me! Since the EML Mesh Plate 2A3 are available, and since the JJ 2A3-40 are available, and since the JJ-2A3-40 is superior to everything out there except the EML Mesh 2A3-- WHY are you interested-- even in the slightest-- in those other old tubes that never did perform well enough to be accurate music reproducers... no matter how you ran them!

Those NOS tubes have so many design/construction mistakes in them, why would anyone use them today when people have learned, and have built better tubes?

It makes no sense! When something better comes along, why not just use it? It could save you a lot of messing around and never getting what you could have had.....
