Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Not so Sure About the Tung Sol KT150.

I couldn't agree more. You should only change one variable at a time if you want to determine if something is problematic or not. I also emphatically agree that tubes must 'burn in' if you really want to hear what they will sound like for the majority of their service.
I also know from my own experience that certain circuits obviously respond to tube changes, and others simply do not. I wish all tube gear would invariably benefit from (upgrade) tube changes, because I have amassed a reasonable collection of many common audio tubes, mostly 'pre-amp' tubes. Perversely, when I had to change a great deal of my audio gear recently, I ended up using an amp I owned but rarely used, and it uses some tubes I have relatively few of. It does take 6SN7s to my delight, only to find that rolling it doesn't do a whole heck of a lot to the sound (IMHO).
