Almost everyone does it, it's part of the appeal of tubes. Some brands and circuits respond more positively to rolling than others. One one side I've had Rogue amps that show huge improvement with top quality vintage tubes versus the stock Electro Harmonix or JJ's - almost to the point that they seem to NEED some rolling. On the other I've got VAC amps that are voiced so damned beautifully with its stock tubes that it can be an exercise in frustration to find NOS blends that effect some improvement without upsetting the delicate voicing balance and losing some magic - those amps really don't need any rolling at all to render music in a shockingly beautiful manner.
