What is tube rolling?

there are some tubes, like amperex and telefunken that are fairly consistent in there sonic characteristics. in fact i have found many tubes having the same "flavor" or affect upon sound, regardless of the component, which is why i ususally favor the following brands: mullard, rca and brimar.

I thought it was like log rolling but I crushed them all in my bathtub and went back to SS.

Jeez I started this thread so long ago I dont even remember it. How did it get revived? BTW-I have a tube amp now and have swapped out the stock tubes for some gold lions and other nice sounding tubes. Massive improvement.

"How did it get revived?"

One day, while waiting for my pasta order to go, I spotted a poster with every type of pasta imaginable represented. When I asked the cook why so many types, he responded: "Centuries of boredom."
