As I've mentioned elsewhere before, over the years I've gotten about 25% clinkers, among all tubes, from all sources, including "specially selected, graded and matched" tubes. Also, I have lived with the 6C33C enough to say it "drifts" in use, and if i ever built an OTL, the 6C33C would be one of the last tubes I would consider for it. So how funny is it that - now that I think about it - I have NEVER - so far - gotten a 6C33C that was bad right out of the chute! While the "boutique" versions seem no better - practically speaking - than the garden variety 6C33C, neither are they any worse. And so far every 6C33C I have put in the ML2 has been useable, and all have "done their jobs" to the extent that I only think about them when it comes time to re-bias.
