Audiophile and measure, that's an interesting combination. The last Audiophile I talked to was telling me about the audio qualities of the paint on the front panel of his preamp (no paint sounds best). If you really need a good chuckle (unless you threw out your tube stock recently) go to ebay and search for a 12ax7. For example http://cgi.ebay.com/Matched-New-Pair-of-Rare-Philips-mC-12AX7-Tubes_W0QQitemZ330162061283QQihZ014QQcategoryZ50598QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I sure hope he packs them well! 73's Skip WB6YMH
