[QUOTE="gavinbirss, post: 1088301, member: 60"] [member=22414]wilhelm[/member] Dogs could bark about replying to an old thread (@mods) The Predator is what is considered a hybrid amplifier, only the input stage uses tubes that typically have thousands of hours life which could mean good life for many years. Schalk would be able to advise being the maker and he likes using tube heater voltages extending life of the tubes. (slighly less than 6.3V) Drop in output level or any intermittent sound in one or both channels could mean attention is required just keeping unit powered when needed and the odd dusting off and cleaning with a damp cloth could help. Anything more should be asked from a more experienced person. [/QUOTE]
