[Amps] Choosing the right valve.......

[AA6DX]

I've been reading the mail on the different tube types.  In the thousands and thousands of Qs I've made while using an amp, I cannot for the life of me remember ever having to buy any replacement tube(s) for my amp du jour.
Now, that is not to say I have not bought or swapped for a used amp that benefited from new jugs, but I have never had finals go bad in any of my Amateur Radio amplifiers.  Just adding to the mix.
