Brand New Current Matched Pair (2) Sovtek EL84M / 6BQ5WA = 7189 Tubes INTERNATIONAL shipments typically take 3-6 weeks by our standard USPS First Class Mail but sometimes take up to 3 months for delivery. eBay estimates are NEVER correct for International. The EL84M is the higher power version of the EL84 also known as the 7189. The Sovtek EL84M / 6BQ5WA are an excellent and affordable choice for an EL84 or 6BQ5 tube type. Bringing a wonderfully clear and smooth tone, on top of Sovtek’s reliability, it is clear why they are a popular choice.. Testing and/or Matching We test and/or match our tubes by Gm & Plate Current using a state of the art digital Maxi-Matcher tube tester. The Maxi-Matcher simulates a real circuit and tests tubes in real-world conditions. We also check our tubes for other issues like shorts on calibrated and vintage tube testers. We match our tubes +/- 5% with an overall tolerance of 10%. While we do screen for noise and microphonics, even the best tube testers are quite bad at finding these faults. The only real test is with your ears. We guarantee that our tubes will be free of noise or microphonics but please be aware that there isn't a whole lot we can do to ensure your tube won't be. To combat this issue, we are quite liberal in accepting returns for these reasons.
