Re: TAD (tube amp doctor) 6L6GC-STR Tubes??
STR stands for "Special Tube Request," meaning it's a custom order tube.
Forum member Hot Tubes is using these tubes with great success. These tubes are basically Chinese tubes that are custom made to TAD's specifications and then hand selected. TAD then puts the tubes through a more rigorous test sequence. Make sure you get the Black Plates.
So far, I haven't heard any negative feedback on these tubes. As far as failure rates, I think all current production tubes have a very high failure rate during the initial testing. However, some of these tubes make it to market and you can end up with a bad tube.
