Pull the tubes. Move the amp. Clean the pins and sockets. Reinstall. Clean all connections- speaker binding posts, RCAs. Look at it as the excuse to do something that probably needed doing anyway.
Moving tube equipment
I will be relocating some tube based amps soon. Since I'm doing the packing and driving (about an hour and 15 minutes) any thoughts on just leaving the tubes intact and packing carefully so the units cannot shift. After unpacking just check to make the tubes are still properly seated. The amps are not auto biased so having the right tube in the correct socket matters. Yes I'm just being lazy and would rather not pull the tubes and mark etc....
Thanks
