As explained above, there is no operational reason for worrying about handling tubes. My only possible concern would be the easy to rub off markings on extremely rare Telefunken tubes. When my ECC803S tubes are near the end of their life, how will I be able to sell them on ebay as brand new if I am not careful about rubbing off the markings on the tube?
what do you use to remove your tubes?
Happy Holidays! ! ! I want to pull my preamp and signal tubes (12AU7's and 12AX7's) to see what brand they are. They only stick out of my Rogue Cronus Magnum about 3/4 of an inch. Do I have to use cotton gloves / towel or could I use latex gloves? I'm thinking I could get a better grip with latex gloves. Once I know what they are, I would like to post a thread on what other tubes people are using in their Cronus Magnums and what effects they are having on the sound.

Donjr, Curiosity killed the cat, did you pull the tubes? Did you have any problem putting them back in? Beats me why a manufacture would recess a tube in a well.... http://www.uptownaudio.com/rogue/Titan.htm Looks like the best way to pull the tubes would be with Chinese handcuffs, LOL..... |
Jea48. I pulled them and the preamp 12au7 is a Sylvania. Out of the other two 12au7's, only one of them I could read '12au7'. I got nothing off of the 12ax7's. I think they're probably all Sylvanias. I think I'll shoot Mark O'Brien from Rogue and e-mail and ask him. I'm considering rolling the 12ax7's. Not because I'm unhappy with the sound, but because I've never tube rolled and would like to hear the differences for myself, as opposed to reading other peoples description of the differences. |
