This is a quote from Audiotubes' site:
A side note about Bad Boys, there were versions with 2 rivet holes in each plate, and versions with 3 holes. Both types sound identical. Don't fall for the bogus story that only the 3 rivet hole types are the true "Bad Boys"! You will miss out on some great sound from the 2 hole type, since the 3 hole versions are more difficult to find, more expensive elsewhere, and don't sound any different! I suspect the "3-hole only" story got started by my competition to justify charging a higher price for these tubes!
I have the 2 hole version, and it sounds great. Probably my favorite so far.

There are two types of "bad boy" listed near the bottom of the page. What's the difference between them ?
