RE: Tube "event" -- how bad can it be?

This very well could be a failed coupling cap. Some of the most frequently asked for "audiophile" coupling capacitors are some of the least reliable. If it is a coupling cap, have the manufacturer replace them all (with their recommendation for reliability).

For what it's worth, a metalized polypropylene coupling cap should outlive most humans on the planet.
