If you didn't "pay" for it (the NOS mojo unicorn fart components), it was a decent price, and it sounds good, I probably wouldn't care.
Yup, this exactly. Slightly above 200€, good sounds, sturdy build, fine so far.
They might sound fine and measure spot on but it's pretty shady behaviour IMO.
They could be particularly noisy transistors or very leaky transistors. The higher the leakage the more noise you'll typically get. One of the main reasons people switched from germanium in the first place.
Also agree, definitely something "off" about their claims, nothing to do with the sound - it acts just like a Ge Bender would, so that's not the problem here.
