Received some of those German "postroehren", SQ gold pin pentodes. D3a is mentioned before like possible good driver. C3g is a very interesting tube, too, inside and outside shields, loctal socket, low noise, linear. Nice triode - connected curves; with OP, say, Uak=182V/Ugk=-3V/Ia=12mA we`d have ยต=40 and rp~2k6. Looking good for the (300B) driver, RIAA stage input tube, etc. Must try it soon and report.
But, 6 of 15 D3a was defective right from the box, white getter = air inside the tube through barely visible crack between the pins...
The best thing is, those quality tubes can be (still) found relatively cheap.
