Brand New In Box Current Tested Electro-Harmonix 6973 Vacuum Tube

Description: Brand New In Box Tested Electro-Harmonix 6973 Vacuum Tube - Single We only sell factory fresh tubes and NOT seconds as we are an authorized dealer for New Sensor (EHX) and JJ Thanks to Electro-Harmonix the 6973 is finally affordable and easy to find! This tube has long caused grief as the originals are so scarce. Many companies were re-branding the less powerful 6CZ5 tubes and selling them as 6973. The two are related, however a 6CZ5 would break up far too early and would burn out prematurely as they cannot handle the voltage of a true 6973. This is a rich and warm sounding tube with great dynamics just like the original. You can run these in any circuit that calls for 6973 or 6CZ5 but you cannot run a 6CZ5 in place of a 6973. Testing and/or Matching We test and/or match our tubes by Gm & Plate Current using a state of the art digital Maxi-Matcher tube tester. The Maxi-Matcher simulates a real circuit and tests tubes in real-world conditions. We also check our tubes for other issues like shorts on calibrated and vintage tube testers. We match our tubes +/- 5% with an overall tolerance of 10%. While we do screen for noise and microphonics, even the best tube testers are quite bad at finding these faults. The only real test is with your ears. We guarantee that our tubes will be free of noise or microphonics but please be aware that there isn't a whole lot we can do to ensure your tube won't be. To combat this issue, we are quite liberal in accepting returns for these reasons.
