                   ESQ is not so much a different range, more a way of achieving 
                    the best from today's factories.  
                    Every ESQ valve is specially selected, undergoes rigorous 
                    testing and comes fully documented, complete with test parameters 
                    and the response curves. Most types, subject to availability, 
                    can be ordered as ESQ, but it is particularly relevant to 
                    matched power tubes, pairs, quartets and even octets.  
                    Every ESQ valve is of course fully guaranteed and that includes 
                    matching, where appropriate. 
                    Obviously you would expect a valve with this pedigree to be 
                    well presented, every valve carries the ESQ gold plaque, and 
                    is presented in its own sealed packaging.
