[QUOTE="gavinbirss, post: 1024679, member: 60"] Signal/preamp tubes may last much longer than power tubes if you observe heater life. In real world examples there are many cases where they just last and last. Circuit and how hard they are run and perhaps other factors like leaky coupling caps or poor bias circuits perhaps robbing some life. Then some tubes just go bad after no time or warning. Treading softly here there may be more valuable input from other forum members in the know. [/QUOTE]
