How to solve tube rattle?
I'm a home player so I only use small combo amp, but the tube rattle is killing me. Seem in these small amps the tubes are just too close to the speaker. Other than going with a head and cab do you guys know of a good way to solve this issue?
Thanks.

Preamp tubes?
If a 12AX7 is noisy, audition-swap it among dif. positions. I just did that a few minutes ago for a friend's BF Bassman: found a location not as critical for one really rattly one. [If it had been my amp I'd just toss it and put in a quiet 12AX7-WB or some other.] Otherwise try dif. or new ones.

For power tube rattle, I've learned that the only true solution is to remove the offending tube, and replace it with one that does not rattle. Sorry to say - there is no other way around it.
