With about 20 tube amps in rotation, I can still only listen to one (or two monos) at a time. That leaves a lot of tubes resting idle in their sockets. My current daily driver is a Dyna ST70. At the moment, it has some cheap Chinese EL34s in it that sound fine to me--the ECC81s are good ones though. That leaves more NOS quality stock standing idle in boxes, but there aren't a lot of these boxes. If I were running all my amps and receivers at once, I might be worried. But as it is, most of my tubes, new and NOS, will outlast me
