    If you wanna dip your toe in the water, the Schiit Vali 3 is relatively inexpensive as far as audio gear goes, and the tube type it uses (5670 family) is pretty affordable too. Now it is a hybrid, so it's not a "full tube amp" (output stage is solid state), but it's a great sounding piece of kit, and it let's you experiment with a little bit of tube sound so you can decide if that's your thing before going balls deep on a full tube amp.

    With a hybrid, it's a bit more subtle because your output stage is still regular old solid state, but I can definitely tell a difference when swapping from tube to tube. GE 5670 Five Star and WE396A are two good tubes for that specific amp.

    On a full tube amp, you'll def be able to tell the difference.

    All of that being said, I don't wanna make guarantees because everybody is susceptible to placebo and confirmation bias. On the other hand, the Vali 3 is pretty legendary for being super receptive to tube rolling, especially for being a hybrid.

    That's generally good practice

    But you can still get a good idea of people's impressions and what tubes they like to match with it. And since it uses cheap 5670 tubes, you're not gonna see any "well to get the full potential out of this amp you need to buy this rare $600 tube" comments

    that album is one of my favorite folk/singer songwriter albums OAT

    its a msterpiece

    he also has some other cool stuff that is either more regular folk leaning or kinda atmospheric jazz fusiony or 80s ish

    this song crazy too
