what do you use to remove your tubes?

Happy Holidays! ! ! I want to pull my preamp and signal tubes (12AU7's and 12AX7's) to see what brand they are. They only stick out of my Rogue Cronus Magnum about 3/4 of an inch. Do I have to use cotton gloves / towel or could I use latex gloves? I'm thinking I could get a better grip with latex gloves. Once I know what they are, I would like to post a thread on what other tubes people are using in their Cronus Magnums and what effects they are having on the sound.

Try a 7025 in place of the 12ax7.This swap worked great in my Rogue TempestII.I used an Amperex 7025.

You need one of my cryogenically treated,1500 thread count,egyptian cotton tube gloves.The better models use 14K gold thread.I have some in minty condition(with 14K gold thread) that I'll let go for $1795.00 plus shipping.Please specify left or right,better yet,buy both so you can switch change hands and save on wear and tear.Always demagnetize the glove before using(I also have demagnetizers for $229.00,free shipping if you buy a glove).Treat your tubes right,don't settle for anything less.Don't listen to the quacks that were talking about the moisturizer,I tried it,it's a total farce.You need to stick to sound,scientifically proven ideas(like my tube gloves).Happy listening.

Don,there are no myths in audiophiledom,only hard scientific facts.If you read something here you can take it as a gospel fact.I am sure no one will try to steer you wrong on these forums,except those nuts above trying to push the hand lotion notion,what a crock of crap.BTW,I am running a Christmas special on my Tube Glove/Demagnetizer combo.Only $1500 for both with free shipping.In the words of the great Pete Townshend...I call that a bargain,the best I ever had.Have a nice day.
