Subject:RE: Different Tubes for Rotosphere?

I'm one of those who thinks that Groove Tubes are
overhyped. They don't make their own tubes, and
they're not brand loyal, nor nationally loyal either:
they get their tubes wherever the deals are to be had.
What they DO do is sell biased pairs which is good if
you're retubing an amplifier or a leslie. Otherwise,
there's no benefit to GT.
