I switch out the driver tubes in my amps sometimes. If I'm craving leaner more powerful bass it's EH,normally it's GoldLion.That's one of the great things about tubed components,you can tweak them do give different presentations.I refuse to admit I have a problem:>
tube rolling for different music genres
Agoners,
Do any of you tube guys and gals switch preamp or amp tubes depending on the type of music you are listening to? I find myself liking all NOS mullard longplates in my phono stage for jazz listening sessions. I then use a combination of RCA blackplates and bugle boys for blues/country music. Then I like using Telefunkens for rock. The telefunkens are my go to tube as they seem to excell with all music types. I find the mullards to be more pleasing with jazz music but, they add too much color to vocals. Does anyone else do this or have I gone off the deep end?
