Can you have too many tubes?

Hi...I have a TAD-150 signature tube preamp driving a Rogue Audio 90 tube amp. My front end is a Michell Gyro SE II with a Clearaudio Viruoso MM cartride. Would I be moving up if I added a dedicated phono stage? And if so, should it be tube or SS? Any recommendations are appreciated.

Albertporter, my comment about the 33 Mullards was in no way meant as any kind of criticism. I was impressed with someone who would spend the time effort, and MONEY to go with the best...33 times, no less.

Enjoy...as I'm sure that you will!

Albert, I think that you need to adopt me so that I can gain access to some of those resources that you use to buy your 110 tubes!!! :-)
I have 18 tubes right now & am considering adding another 20 (power amp).

How many tubes you have in boxes doesn't count. If it did, I got y'all beat. But does a vacuum tube LP cutter system count??

Hey Ralph, how many tubes in a pair of MA-3s? :-)

Can I count the tubes that are sitting around in equipment I am not using? It so, its 60, if not its 30.
