Questions about tubes
I would like to venture into the tube world, however am needing some guidance. For example, what is tube rolling? What do different tubes sound like or characteristics ie kt88,6440, SET,. I hope these questions are not dumb. I think some of you will have fun answering. By the way I will be using Totem Arro speakers..Thanks
