I saw the results of a bad tube in an ARC VT100 which smoked and burned open a wide PCB trace on one of it's channels. It wasn't my ARC VT100mkII which was reliable but the thought of a bad tube smoking my amp was always in the back of my mind. I've had other amps that smoked a few cathode resistors but those were easy to replace with no damage to adjacent components or the PCB.
