the pair doesn't have to be matched very closely, but i have found some
volume discrepancy between pairs with more than 20% difference in
transconductance using the tv7 d/u. for example 75/48 and 56/36 for a 6de7.
(using a bias probe and multimeter is much more exact since you'd be getting
reading at the amp's operating voltage...) the volume difference wasn't very
great but it is noticeable and can be somewhat annoying.
