Joined the drop to dip a toe in tube world (at the price, seems unlikely there would be a cheaper, simpler option).
Im neither expecting long life nor outstanding performance but I’m curious about “tube rolling”. Is it simply a question of getting a compatible category (12AU7) or is there bias adjusting and other “maintenance” involved?

OvationIf it's 12AU7 you only need to pull out the old tube and plug in the new. The pins are arranged a certain way so it only fits in the right way, but they're not super strong so still good to look at the socket and put it in carefully.

KarlBirkirThanks. Looking forward to trying out the amp in a few different configurations. Probably will want to upgrade amp at some point but want to take a “baby step“ first.

OvationFor a variety of reasons, I’ve only had this amp running for about 2 weeks. Seems to like my 300 ohm Sennheiser 6xx much better than my 23 ohm Sennheiser 630VB. The latter was more prone to noise.
Plenty loud for my needs and is a good match for my 6xx. Will likely run it as is until it fails (or develops any serious issues). Certainly can’t complain re: price. If I get more than 6 months of problem free use, it’ll have earned its keep.
