I got my 1+ and GE 408A tubes a few days ago.
You guys were right about unmatched tubes. I can hear the difference in amplitude between some pairings of the 4 tubes I bought. Had to try them in different pairs and switch em around a several times to find the best match of the tubes I bought. Thankfully, I can't tell the difference between the two tubes that match most closely.
So yeah.. buying unmatched tubes are risky, even from the "same lot".
