Ebay Pirates...I try to warn folksThese just arrived to me today: http://www.ebay.com/itm/182141663666?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

You have two options with this seller - he will allow you to return as far as I recall. Also about the hum I've had cases where the hum goes away after burn in - if the measurements given for these tubes are correct then they should have a lot of life. So it's entirely possible the hum/noise/whatever you have goes away with burnin.
Those are different dual getter post tubesThat's encouraging, thanks. For burn in, I suppose I could leave the amp running with the tube while I'm out of the house--otherwise it would be a no-go actually listening to music because of how loud the hum is.
The other tube in the pair seems in good shape, but its volume is noticeably lower than my '85 Reflektors that come standard in my Decware Torii Jr.

Quick update--the hum has decreased dramatically after letting it burn in for the past day. Fingers crossed that this trend continues...
I have rolled the 6n23ps and the Mullards and have the same observations as above. I am mostly a speaker listener though.
I prefer the Mullards in my primary systems only because I am currently running full range drivers which are bright.
I run 6n23p's in a second system that is more balanced.
I took my '74 6n23p's and '75's to a friend's system which I consider a little warm and they worked wonders. He bought a pair the next day. Wonderful tubes.
Yes - exactly as I spoke of. One of the many reasons I love tubes - that and the extraodinary sound staging and holographic presentation.
Just with HPs - look at the range of tonal signatures - just from the HD800's to the LCD's
