My pleasure. Obviously, that was the States. Other countries, practices varied, I would assume. (Hey, in London they still have a store for barrister wigs and a store devoted to umbrellas if I recall). I'm also pretty confident that the big tube Vlad Lamm uses in his SET amps was long used by the Soviet Union as part of the guidance system for their ICBM (nuclear missiles). It's a pretty robust tube!
Question about valves running hours
I'm new to the tubes world and when I bought my amplifier the seller told me not to run it for more than 8 hours, letting it for rest a couple hours before the next listening session. I wasn't told why, but now I got curious and I want to know more about it.
What's the reason for this limitation? What can we damage and why?
