    Maybe different bias characteristics? Maybe also they're different strength or something, maybe also construction

    Reading whitepapers written by electrical engineers in the 40's and 50's, I understand I'm basically an idiot (I probably understand at most 15% of what they've written, and that's generous). But I definitely just don't know. Some tubes in Starlett just don't sound good together (relatively speaking of course. Hard to make a DNA amp sound bad unless you use absolutely dogshit tubes)

    If tubes weren't rollable we would understand them just as well as any other electrical component!

    You're definitely NOT an idiot. As far as I know the "understanding why we like tubes" has been going on for years. But what do I know, I am an idiot.
