[QUOTE="suphuckers, post: 146214, member: 3474"] Hernando04, (You didn't ask me, but here's my 2 cents...) You can't just rely on one tube tester, and I don't care what tube tester it is. I test all of my tubes on several different tube testers. Often with different results. Some of the biggest problems I've had with buying tubes is... Guys who have a modern electronic tube tester that can't see problems that my $100 50 yr old EICO can easily see. Problems that I've verified on 3 different testers, and that $1000 tester has no clue exist. Is that $1000 tester useful? Probably. If I were just looking to test tubes for my amp (and I wasn't a psycho about it like I am) I'd try to find a really nice EICO 666/667. They are cheap (Like $100), and they work well enough to get you in the ballpark with your tubes. Then you can use your ears after that. You gotta find one in really good shape though.
