Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 tube rolling

Hey guys, I switched out the pre-amp tube with a Telefunken smooth plate and I recently replaced the 12ax7 with another set of German Lorenz tubes.  All great changes. Is there any value in rolling out the last two 12au7 driver tubes? Thx Jay

We a friend did a test of 12au7's, about 8 different ones.  Psvane were not near the top.
Mullard won, GE second.  Both NOS.
Personally I'm using Philips JAN and RCA in my amp.

The JAN Philips I have are a better match with my current Grommes Monoblocks.  Every amp is different.  If I had to blindly pick a brand and only 1 brand, it would be Mullards.  The other reason for the JAN is power handling.  My Grommes really push the voltage limits and already ate a quad of RCA's.  The JAN's are happy running at higher voltages.
