Any (new) Tube Testers that can be recommended?

I know you can buy used tube testers through various sources, I'm not sure of the quality or longevity of these units though.

So, can anyone recommend any new tube testers that could test Power tubes like KT-120 or Preamps tubes like 12AX7, 12AT7?

If money is not a concern it’s a great choice. I just couldn’t justify the expense for amount of use it would get.

Also, Amplitrex can test at a "fixed" bias or "auto" bias...Matching power tubes and matching both halves of a triode too. When used with a Windows computer via USB, the Amplitrex can provide a detailed report (file), in either pdf or png format. Post-able or Printable if desired. Repeatable results.
