KT 88 test results

[karma67]

Hi, i had my GEC KT88's tested and the photo shows how they measured and the order in which i have them in my amp.

Is there a better order i should put them in or are they close enough not to worry?

Quite a few very experienced here will tell you that the results are verging on meaningless.

What sounds best?

really? whats the point of valve testers then? im confused lol
ive not tried any other orders as i'd have to re bias,i thought it was worth asking first in case its not worth it.

Apparently.... according to at least one and probably several threads ATM, measurements absolutely don't matter/are the work of satan/whatever... So may as well randomly fit new and worn valves then set the bias controls whilst blindfolded. If smoke comes out and/or it sounds shite then obviously a different isolation platform or brand of £120 a go fuses should have been used as engineering and measurements have no place in hi fi...

Cynical? Moi?
