Hey, tube testing gurus! I'm looking at buying a uTracer 6 kit, and wondered if the AT1000 offered anything superior to that unit, in the technical sense? The usual audio tubes will be done (12a*7, 6s*7, 6v6/6l6) so I don't exactly need v6 but I'm springing for the newer design anyways).
The purpose is to get basic information such as plate current and Gm/rp/mu. Ideally I could define the testing parameters, and get the same results as an Amplitrex. I'll test noise/microphonics and shorts separately.
I have a donor tube tester with sockets and switches. The uTracer seems ideal for a much less expensive DIY alternative. Any opinions and/or experience greatly appreciated 🙂
Edit: there's a good uTracer thread here: https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=21903
