I would like to know various challenges that some of us have had while using different tube amps. Currently, I make use of Evo 400, Mclntosh MA352 hybrid, and the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III.
I am the type that likes having different options when it comes to vacuum tube amps, but I've experienced different challenges while using these amps. For example, I always feel an increase in heat in the room when I switch from Rogue to Evo 400. That meant that I am always careful of the one to use depending on weather conditions.
So, I would like to know if anyone here run multiple tube amps and what issues you've encountered while using them?
Is there a good tip on how to manage heat, and how do you get along with managing running multiple amps?

I truly understand how you feel with the heat that comes with tube amps. In fact, that was the main reason that I switched from using them years ago to focus on solid-state amps.
I was never comfortable in my room because of the heat till I got a small fan that was always on when I was using the tubes. So, maybe I suggest you get a fan that you can keep in the room that can make the room cooler. I don't bother about those issues anymore because I run solid-state amps, and they give less drama, unlike tubes.
