Ed,

If you have not already, don't buy anything other than the 6Ж49П-ДPY / 6J49P-DRU version, they tend to measure ok. The ДP/DR and the regular Д/D versions might give you 1 good one in 5 or even 10.

Take your pick on operating point, Jim's trace is of a good valve. With its huge µ it's a very versatile valve.

Thank you.
Trying it as a driver for pp2a3 amp.
Using a 6c45p right now.
 
6J9P and 6J11P have terrible consistency. I have 30+ and have problems making decent pairs, the spread is so large. I only have eight of the 6Z49P and even those have a large spread in gm/µ but looks a bit better at least.

The DRU is the same as the DR except for gold pins and being pre-burned and carrying the "audiophile" price tag because of the gold pins 🙂
