| Tubes + 1 tvad, better to be on the safe side, if you don't have a way to check the valves. Even if you do, have a way to check valves, one mans good on EBay is another mans junk. Matched valves with ONLY 20% left in the tank are sold all the time as ma... | |

| Thinking Out Loud A pair at a time is fine OP. One left one right.When and if you swap valves (tubes) keep an eye out for the first few hours up to 24 hours.Shipping tubes is never a good thing, being aware for the first few hours is always a good idea.. Red Platin... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? 50 years with Mac, last June. There are products I don't care for and I don't buy them. The prices have always been high. The return has always been high. I like Mac Vintage tube gear more so than anything else. BUT! There are some special soundi... | |
