So, what does all this mean? Look to the maximum voltage and current ratings. Now compare these numbers with a 'plain' 6V6GT. Can you see where blindly measuring plate current, thinking you have a 'normal' 6V6, can lead you? This is the plain and simple reason why so may 'gurus' do not like using Russian 6V6's; they are not 6V6's, and these gurus do not know how to properly evaluate these tubes. That would take test equipment, and spending time using it. The typical guru has his Fluke DVM, and that's it.
