the EL34s for other EL34s or KT88/6550s and the 12BZ7 for other 12BZ7s or 12AX7s? I've been very happy with my stock tubes and usually do a bit of tube rolling but I've not had the itch yet as I have been enjoying the stock sound. I'm just wondering if Dennis Had voiced these monoblocs to synergize well with the stock tubes or if one can gain some sonic improvement by tuberolling. By the way, is "tube rolling" one word or two?

Damn,
Just when I was happy as can be! I need to buy more tubes. I had just settled in with the Raytheon 12BZ7s when good old Danny starts stiring up trouble. Now I JUST GOT to have a pair of Telfunken 12AX7s, just to see if it's better(Cary V12R). I see I also could use a pair of 12AY7s . At least THEY are reasonably priced.
What the hell, I ain't bought no new tubes in three months. Kevin Deal has probably forgot my name. I think I need some more 7316s and .............
Gee, I just love it when I can aggrevate you, Claud.
If you can wait, I'll give you a beautifully matched pair of Tele 12AX7s. If you can't wait, I'll send them to you. How's THAT for service. Just one of the perks of being a member of the Carolina Audiophile Society. :)
OH great Prez, what am I supposed to be holding? Just kidding! If you are willing to loan me the pair of tels, THANKS. What a guy!! Yes I can wait for the system crawl weekend. I think I can show up since my fishing buddies went home on Saturday last year (US Open King Mack Tourney is OCT 3, 4).If we make the board (in the money), all bets are off.
What I really want to know is if you tried them in the Six Packs? I want them for the same purpose. Changes in 12BZ7s are as Dennis would say, subtle. What did the supposed king of 12AX7s do?
I also want a rematch with my 308t vs the SACD machine. You would not believe what a change in cords has wrought.
I would hate to miss the system crawl, but it all comes down to fish.
I've not yet done any tube rolling with the SixPacs. However, I may do so this weekend. Also, if you like the Teles in your amps you can just keep them, not borrow them. I guess I'm in a good mood tonight. I'm wondering though, if the circuit runs the 12AX7s hard compared to the 12BZ7s. I hate to overwork Tele 12AX7s. Any idea if putting 12AX7s in the circuit is a problem for the tube?
"news on Cary site says 12AY7s, 12AX7s and 12BZ7s are interchangable. Cary doesn't run any tube hard that I'm aware of. Please try them in place of the 12BZ7s, and let me know what it sounds like. They would be my first choice for tube rolling the 6pks. You may change your mind about giving them to me. That's cool. Then I will know if they are an improvement.
Either way, I still want two mo pair of BB/Amperex early 60s , late 50s, 7316s. I only have three pair, and they ain't makin' any more.
Yo Kevin.......
I just put some EH 12AY7s in mine this evening--So I can't comment on the sonics yet...I wanted to try something with less gain--Before, I could only turn the volume on the pre-amp to about 9:00 max. Now I am getting more range.
What preamp do you have? I'm using a Blue Circle BC 3000 and "loud" seems to be at about 1:00.
Since putting the 12AY7s in the Sixpacs, loud is now 11:00 instead of 9:00. I haven't listened closely, but I actually may like them...
