In Reply to: How reliable have your SET or SE tube amps been? posted by RGA on April 13, 2016 at 23:37:05:
I have never had any problems whatsoever with m Audionote Kageki. But, then again, I have never had a problem with ANY tube gear--linestages, my pushpull amp, my phonostage.
Most of the gear that people seem to have issues with involve gear that is either poorly constructed (including cheap parts and wiring) or being pushed hard to extract as much power from the tubes as possible. The stress on the tube shortens the tube life, and the failing tube also might cause some damage to the amp. The really well-built gear that is run conservatively will last decades, probably longer than most solid state gear will last (and most tube gear is repairable, while much solid state stuff cannot be repaired because a particular transistor or chip is no longer available).
