Zesto Andros PS-1 Tubes

Tube Rolling on a 4k component from the get go sounds like audionervosa OCD. Why bother buying - build your own kit and tube how you see fit.

That type of feedback will turn alot of potential buyers of the Zesto off - it does me.

Pops, you make no sense.

I didn't notice any additional gain with the Gold Lions versus the stock JJ ECC83s.

You shouldn't hear any additional gain from brand to brand. The eletrical parameters should be the same no matter which brand you choose. The sound however does change in terms of tone, extension and imaging, amongst other things.
Pops are you suggesting we build our own tubes? I doubt you meant that, many of us, including me, don't know how to build a component from scratch. The one thing I can modify quickly, without soldering in most cases, is a tube switch. It affects im the sound in very obvious ways in most instances. It is a rare case that stays unaffected by a tube roll. It is easy and rewarding.

Mechans I wasn't serious about building a tube amp, I was simply saying buying a component for 4k and attempting to change the sound from the designers voicing without giving it some time and getting to know it seems strange to me.
