Here's a follow up question; more specific I guess. I see lots of tubes with tester measurements such as, "1700/1700." Followed by a comment that 2500 is 100% or "65/65 where 140 is new."
Can I draw any real inferences from these? For example, if a 6SN7, assume, lasts 5000 hours, can I asume that a tube meauring 70/70 will only last 2500 hours??
Why are there two numbers?
thanx guys
