Philips Miniwatt ECC83

A friend of mine gave me a box full of tubes, including the Philips. All tubes were used, and this one didn't seem 100% anymore. It didn't provide enough gain. However, the tube tester indicated that this tube is alright. A second listening test made clear that this tube is more than OK. I didn't like this one in the gain hole 'though. Too many non-pleasing highs.
