Can you touch the tubes?


I was talking to someone at the tube store about replacing some KT 150 tubes and he said it was perfectly fine to touch the tubes.

I've always thought you're supposed to handle these things very carefully with white gloves or a microfiber cloth.

Handling them with my fingers makes it easier to pull them out , insert them more securely.

Does it really matter if my fingerprints get on the glass or should I clean them off with a microfiber cloth after I touch them?

I heard that licking the tubes will give you deeper sound stage, and better channel separation!

but you can only lick them counterclockwise

Ahhhh!!! A man of experience. Lick one tube and you're a tube licker for life. You and @tubebuffer must be related.
