While I might put it differently, I support Steve's general statement.
Specifically for old tube radios, where the very quality of the signal reproduced is not exactly HiFi, even if this were true for HiFi systems (which I doubt) this certainly will not make any difference whatsoever in this particular case.
I would go with what's cheaper and available. And preferably is not Chinese. (well, this is just my general resentment of their industry, quality and the attitude).

Steve,

You should've replaced the "Pure" for "Pernicious" Icon_lol

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
