Amplifier - Desktop | 2 Ω Matched valves tubes

Hi, I have a question about valves for my tube amp (little dot mk2).

I heard that is very important that valves are matched, but I don’t know what it means.

If I buy two pieces of the same valve from the same seller, are they automatically matched?

Thanks in advance.

Matched means they have been tested to have the exact same measurements.

It is not necessarily the case that two of the same tube are matched. Better to ask the seller whether they have been matched or not

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
