[Amps] Tube Standardization [Was] Stability of amps

[kd4e]

This is an interesting topic, isn't it true that
6146's varied within some of the series - the "B"
in particular, or was it the "A"?

It is also a problem with many modern devices where
a manufacturer will change a chipset in the middle
of a series with no evidence anywhere in the packaging
that such has happened.

Wreaks havoc when one has designed in reference to
one chipset and one receives another!
