Tube Rolling Time


I want to dive deeper into tube rolling.  I currently have a Decware Zen and Luxman Neo Classico SQ-150.

What should I consider next?  Conrad Johnson is on my radar.  Suggestions?

Suggest you start your rolling journey with the input tubes (small signal tubes). The input gain stage has the most influence on sonics. Next, the driver aka phase inverter tubes, have some influence on the sound. 
Rolling the rectifier tube can have a very audible effect on the sonic signature of the amp.

I'm a believer in using NOS tubes from a reputable dealer.
+1 on Brent Jessee website. There is a wealth of information on the sound produced by tube type and by  each manufacturer.
