I totally agree with Jmcgrogan2. Let me also add that manufacturers like ARC 'voice' their products with a particular type or types of tubes that are not NOS. They do this so that their products sounds consistently good from unit to unit. This is also true of output tubes where specs can vary widely with NOS tubes. Sometimes using NOS tubes creates more problems then it solves.
Manufacturers' warning not to change tubes
I want to discuss what I believe is a very important matter.
Some tube amplifier manufacturers (e.g., Italian ones) strongly discourage customers from changing tubes in their amplifiers implying that their products are best optimized for the stock tubes.
I believe that "tube rolling" is a great fun and the benefit of owning/using a tube amplifier.
When the manufacturer discourages its customers from "tube rolling", this demonstrates the weakness rather than an advantage of its products.
It especially goes for automaticlly biased amplifiers.
I will appreciate azny comments
