Just a shameless bump of my own thread, but in very unlikely chance that any of you are interested...
I just bought a pair of 6DJ8-EI Elite Gold tubes and swapped out the stock Electro-Harmonix - all I can say is WOW! what a difference. I never gave tube-rolling much thought (seemed like too much of a hassle to me) but after a few people told me the Minimax improves dramatically with better tubes I figured I'd give it a go. I am very impressed. The stock tubes were decent, but a little "scratchy" at the top end I thought. Add the EI's and the sound is drastically improved, a smoother and much fuller, yet very detailed, sound. It's funny I didn't notice the faults of the stock tubes as much until I swapped in the new EI tubes. Such an improvement, and these are only decent NS tubes I put in! I'm glad I tuberolled before I sold the Minimax because I would have regretted it. Now I just have to try some NOS tubes...
Moral of the story: if you have tubes, TUBEROLL!
