Svetlana tubes

[jr3d]

I was looking at a set of Svetlana 6L6's on musicians friend, and I noticed an option to choose between soft, medium, and hard tubes. What is the difference in these tubes?

thank you for your time,

Soft,medium and hard are used to describe the "breakup" quality.

sorry I'm noob to tube characteristics, I know what breakup is, so does hard mean that there is more or less breakup?

I dont know if your planning on buying from musicians friend or not but if you are,,, DONT. Do yourself the biggest favor you can and call
Dougs tubes. Honestly I mean it.

I wasn't thinking of buying i was just wondering what the designation on the tubes was. Thanks for the resource though.
