If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet

and ;like the ones in your preamp now, which have quite a few hundred hours on them, how do you resist auditioning the ones you never heard?

One set is for every day use and one set is used as a reference. Over a period of time audio neurosis sets in and I begin to doubt the tube’s performance/lifespan. That is when in pull out my reference set and compare them to the everyday set. If all is good, I merely put the old set back in and enjoy until Audio neurosis strikes again.
