Audio Mirror Tubadour V Tube rolling


I have and love a Tub V. I have heard mention a few people have done some tube rolling. I know Vlad makes adaptors...and wondered what people have experienced. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

At some point my  next step will be the Tub VI.

I think mine has Russian tubes...so I'll probably just leave it alone.

Thanks!

@wig , I got them from soviet-tubes_c0m on ebay. I’m sure any Ukrainian source is reliable

If you plan on keeping the amp and as the older Russian versions are still inexpensive/available I suggest purchasing spares now.

I also own the V. Vlad does not recommend swapping the tubes as his original tubes selection sounds best. I bought quite a few back up Russian tubes from Ukraine on ebay. Perfect transactions and inexpensive prices, about 3 weeks for delivery. I saw Vlad at the Round Rock audio show and discussed the VI. I first was gonna pull the trigger, but after thinking it over, I don't want any extra amplification from my dac, like the VI has. My system does not need it. The V is perfect in my case. BTW, Vlad is as friendly a dealer as you'll ever find and will always be willing to work with you.
