Are they available in matched pairs? What is the diameter of the ceramic base? (Will it fit in my Freya+ without a riser?)

Hi there,
Those are good questions. The Apos Ray 6SN7 Select a single tube. As for the diameter of the base, the measurement is 1 and 1/4 inch.
Kindly visit our site product page for more info.

Ordered and eager to check it out. Curious, where are these manufactured and what happens to the other 95% that don’t make the cut?

What's the most common standard tube this replaces? all compatibility searches are more non-standard 6XXX tubes and all sorts of converters and risers.

6SN7 is the most common Standard tube of this type.
Like 12au7 for Novals.

 

[jonbmet]

Do you offer matched pairs/quads?

Hi there,

We are developing plans to resell these to businesses not looking to use them for audio listening purposes. but for now, the rejected tubes are just sitting and not doing anything.
Rest assured, the ones that did not make the cut would never receive the branding on the tubes. So they will not be mistaken as a result.
