Again, they measure well and are well made, much better than most Chinese boutique stuff. Who knows, anyway they measure well but different to eg. Tele smooth plate and Tesla frame grids. I rather suspect that in Croft amps the Mullard box plates would be a revelation (albeit at a price). Anyone tried them?
