Tubes Asylum Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ |

I mean do they sonicaly diminish at some point before they blow? Does the sound degrade at some point in its life span?
I know they are like transistors in so much as they have a YES/NO function. But like some resistors and caps do they loose their physical function?
