[Amps] IMD numbers for Russian tubes

[Conrad_G0RUZ]

They are much better than anything that you are likely to have as a driver
Theo. Based on anecdotal evidence (I have never measured one myself) I
believe the GS35B to be 4-6 dB worse on 3rd order IMD products than a 8877.
This is hearsay but there again much of what passes for fact on this
reflector is :-)
