dave	Re: 10mA diff. - I bought a 'matched' set of Svet El34's from Triode and they were about 10mA off, at 460volts. I sent them back and got...another set of 'matched' tubes that were about 10mA off. Funny thing is, I gave up on Triode and didn't bother returning them. They sound just fine in the amp (Marshall 1987 clone). Maybe 'exact' tube matching isn't as important as we sometimes make it out to be. dave r.
