Power tubes on a lps

My experience has been the tubes sound different, including in power supplies. Tubes are a variable. Sometimes subtle, sometimes less so, but that same difference can vary from circuit to circuit and system to system. 

I keep seeing new things you can  buy tubed. Is there anything you can’t put tubes in?! They will be putting tubes  on cables next! 

I have the little Had Inspire SEP stereo tube amp that Max’s at 12wpc. It takes any power tube from el34 to KT 150. It has a rectifier tube hence I have about 8 nos rectifier tubes. While doing extensive tube rolling I found that with the lower voltage rectifier tubes I get that smooth mellow sound but with full bass that is usually referred to as “ Sag “ by guitar players. Look up Dub Step Girls rectifier tube review. It’s an interesting read. Cheers , Mike B. 

Nice article on the tube comparisons.

Thanks.  I am now looking at some 6sn options as well.

the gold lions I am using in my pre/dac/streamer sound better 

than the bugle boys I had been using.  But I think its time

to revisit those and a rectifier tube.  Then maybe a look at the

a bump up the Nordost line or the Kimbers.
