RE: One amp, one type of tube only, no rolling?

But if you don't roll tubes, how can you tell what sounds best in the amp?
Rolling tubes is one of the joys of tube amp ownership. It makes your amp a "hobby" for many people. You would think tube amp manufacturers would get that?
Now if you have cheap, crappy sockets in your amp, then you should change them. If you have decent quality sockets, I say roll on!
If you are careful inserting and removing the tubes (take your time don't rush), along with cleaning and retentioning on a regular basis, tube rolling does not have to wear out your sockets. I have rolled hundreds of tubes and my sockets are just fine thank you.
Enjoy the roll!!!
