Andy...I enjoy tube rolling too, but not for different types/genres of music. I thought I was a little OCD, glad to know they are others worse off :-)
tube rolling for different music genres
Agoners,
Do any of you tube guys and gals switch preamp or amp tubes depending on the type of music you are listening to? I find myself liking all NOS mullard longplates in my phono stage for jazz listening sessions. I then use a combination of RCA blackplates and bugle boys for blues/country music. Then I like using Telefunkens for rock. The telefunkens are my go to tube as they seem to excell with all music types. I find the mullards to be more pleasing with jazz music but, they add too much color to vocals. Does anyone else do this or have I gone off the deep end?
