RGA,
I purchased my 421a from Don Garber in March of 2007. I listen about 10-12 hours a week. 9 years later, no hum, buzzes or breaks. Besides the sound quality, that's why I made the purchase; to get off the repair merry go round. The only tube substitution was the 6sl7 driver, I exchanged the GE for a Raytheon(Garber provided 2) (round plates) just for the hell of it, liked the response and stuck with it. The WE 421a power tube still test's new. Can't get anymore reliable than that.
