You can do it but sound wise one will be very much burned in and starting to die while the other has a brand new sound signature. You can do, it but I would replace both.
OK to replace one power tube for amp?
I have Joule Stargate Monos that use the Russian 6C33C-B power tube, two per amp. One of them isn't holding bias very well... wandering a bit. Can I just replace the one tube? Each power tube is individually biased in this amp and I've heard that matching pairs with 6C33s is just not something that happens so it would seem ok to buy 1 but I didn't know if having tubes of different ages was bad.
