In Reply to: How do you find substitutes for rolling? (that are unlike the tubes they're replacing) posted by Mark Tinordi on April 10, 2007 at 09:01:03:
Is it "safer" (that is, less stupid) to be more reckless with sticking any nine-pin miniature tube into that socket? I've searched this board, of course, and discovered that Very Bad Things can happen if you replace certain power tubes with other power tubes, especially if you don't adjust for the bias.But provided that preamp tubes area so dinky in comparison, do they pose nearly as much danger to your person/gear?
