Manley Chinook Owners Tube Rolling


Just bought a Chinook M2 SE  From Upscale Has anyone tried other tubes besides the 6922 Tungstran i think that Kevin picked out. Would it even make a difference?
Thanks, Mike

One other thing. I've done a bunch of rolling in my Chinook.  The stock Electro Harmonix 6922s are very good. The amp was voiced with them per EveAnna 's tech Chris.   

Even though I roll tubes like crazy, I do admit that EH 6922s are a quiet tube.  They really don't get enough credit.  

I'm ready to roll after I understand how the machine sounds stock.  I try to keep an open mind because I never really know what I will like.  I've used inexpensive reissue tubes to great effect, and have found pricey NOS not that great (even when tested and from a great seller).  It always depends.  

If funds are not an option, I'd buy 2 6922s of 3 different makes so you can experiment.
