"Skipp" = a lying PILE Of ****


Tube people like Groove Tubes, NDB Electronics and others have built up a
faithfull reputation for pre-testing tubes.


** Groove Tubes is nothing but a clever CRIMINAL SCAM .

Crap tubes from Asia do not get any better because some half-witted hippy
carried out a meaningless test procedure.


Some selected & tested tubes are not limited to the max rating of 500V.


** 6L6 GCs and EL34s are *speced* at 2000 volts maximum - you IGNORANT
ASSHOLE.


Some folks do. ... and some folks take the wild cards out of deck
by proper testing the tubes for proper operation and spec. Again,
Groove Tubes has made a huge business out of selection, grading and
testing of tubes.

Crap tubes from Asia do not get any better because some half-wit hippy

I'm not engineering and amplifier over 24 years. Trying to return it
to original operation required you pay special attention to the
replacement tube issues. There is much less tube quality control fudge
factor with the much higher anode/plate voltages used in the MM Circuit.


** Any decent EL34 or 6L6GC will operate fine in a MM amp.

It is one of the easier amps on its output tubes - compared to tube
killers like Marshall, Laney& Orange.


Nothing wrong with the above... I simply say you should high-pot test
new tubes for breakdown before you place them into the less forgiving
(much higher than average anode/plate voltage) Music Man Amplifiers.


** You do not even know what "hi-pot" testing is,

you LYING PILE OF **** !!



Do you pre-test tubes you place into service? If you know the amplifier
has much higher plate voltages vs the average circuit, would you not
try to test it for breakdown at the higher voltages?


** Marshalls can subject their EL34s to 5000 volt peaks during operation.

MM amps do not exceed 1500 volts due to the use of reverse diodes from
plates to ground.

The " breakdown" issue comes from inductive kick backs, NOT plate SUPPLY
voltage.


Skipp is a FAKE !!!

The ASSHOLE knows nothing.

He is a brainless, human parrot for scam artist tube re-sellers.

B E W A R E !!
