In this series some of the earlier versions have a single getter vs later versions with double getters; also, some have welded plates vs later one's without welded plates.
1. Given similar condition, would one expect a difference in sound quality (pre-amplifier use) between single or double getters or welded vs non-welded plates?
2. Which would be preferred - rS or tv coded tubes?
3. Any other manufacturing characteristics one should look for when purchasing these very expensive tubes?
Thank You
