Yep, literally just swapped tubes in my DAC 5 minutes ago. The ones supplied with my DAC have little sticky nylon or silicone dots for grip.
I would not used the white slippery ones that came with my TT though.
Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?
I wear cloth gloves to change or to test tubes. Does anyone else do this? I see lots of bare fingers handling tubes on ebay. If I ever do touch them with bare skin, I am very quick to wipe with dry cloth after. Just wondering what the rest of the world does. Thanks
