I like having the option to roll foam in. May try a very thin ring sometime if I'm not really in-love with my tube combo...
Pick two to three 10-20 sec snippets of tracks for each tube rolling session. Any longer and you will be chasing your tail. I have one track for mids/vocal coherence, vocal timbre and bass reproduction. Then the next for SS, imaging, natural reverb and decay characteristics and treble tone. In 25-45secs I have an idea of what the tube change did. Only once I feel solid about a combo do I go for the long 1 hour session which usually ends up being 3-5+ hours instead.

I'm betting you have one of those newer production HD800s that don't require the foam mod.
I'd like to foam mod the DAC1.
