I have received my Mullards and Gold Lions today. A bit later I'll get another pair of each, and that plus what I have already will be my tube library for the forseeable future. I don't really see much need for more than that. I might buy a few cheap pairs of something to use in the stage(s) I don't use, but as far as anything else the four brands I have now should be plenty.
I still want to put those NOS Amperexes back in. Wednesday would have been good, but the day didn't work out and I ended up going to work instead of being off. A tube change is still in the plan, however.
