"As much as tube rolling can feel like chasing one's tail, especially when one just starts out, once you get that sixth sense of what might go with what you can really just pick a tube from the sonic palette and paint just about any sonic picture you want."
I'll especially support the chasing-one's-tail part. I recently bought a new pair of ASL Hurricanes, and I've been playing with 6SN7s, their 3-each frontend tubes. Since this tube has been made since the 1930s and since lots of companies rebranded other-brand tubes and also since each company changed their designs sometimes often, there must be many-hundreds of variations. With the help of 2 GEA friends, I've settled on 2 brands/types and am quite happy with the amps, expecially with new coupling caps--and with more improvements to come.
