remove tubes before moving cross town?

if it were under your total control, still think you need to remove tubes from the gear? (in this case, ARC Ref 150 and 5se. and the modwright CDP)

thanks

In case someone generalizes these answers, I might add that I would never transport an amp with a directly heated triode installed (45, 300b,etc.). I would definitely remove these tubes from an amp.

Tubes like those found in more "main stream" gear like that produced by ARC (i.e. 6922, 12AX7, 6550) are quite rugged and as an example, you’d never find a guitar player removing this family of tubes from their amp in order to transport it to a gig.
