Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

No question that the B&K 650 tests true gm...

...not sure on the 550, but on the 650 you simply choose the sensitivity level for "True gm" on the tube chart, instead of the one for "good/bad". For some tubes like the 6SL7 the 650 will ONLY test true gm, not "good/bad".

For example, on the 650, the sensitivity level for a 6SN7 to test "good/bad" is 80, but for true GM it is 63.
