Re: Mac C2200 Just Tube Rolled! Wow!

As long as quality tubes are installed in your C2200 tube rolling is fine. Most users do not have the test equipment to evaluate NOS tubes which may be purchased of the bay or other sources. If you are dealing with a reputable dealer who is honest then no problem.
On the C2200 the phono tubes can have a dramatic effect on the tone since they do a lot of gain. Make sure you check for microphonics by tapping the tubes with a pencil with the volume half way up. If it goes boing move on to another tube.
I like RCA and GE black plates from the 50's in my personal 2200 but your tastes may vary. The new Grove Tube 12ax7 has a nice sound for a current production tube.
