Hello everyone,
I'm starting to dip my feet into the waters of tube amplification, and as with anything new there are many strange things I'm reading that don't make since to me. So to help my self not look like a complete newbie when I post in the future I'd like to go ahead and get it out of the way all at once. So here are my questions to the tube aficionados out there:
1) What is Tube Rolling? It sounds fun.
2) What is the function of the tube in a circuit?
3) What are some ways I can get rid of the bell sound I get when put something down on the same table as my preamp?
4) Is it better to have more or less Tubes in a circuit for the best sound quality?
5) Do tubes have a life span?
6) Do tubes really explode?
7) Do bigger/smaller tubes sound better?
8) Is my tube supposed to look all messy inside? (I might have to include a picture of this)
9) I've heard tubes are supposed to glow and heat up? Is it bad that mine don't?
I think thats everything, if I think of anything else I'll post it in here.
