RE: Extend tube life options..

Thanks Paul for this valuable information.

For longer periods I (of course) switch the amp off. I'm looking for a solution for at the end of the day (I mostly listen to music every day).

Looking at your info, it seems best to lower the current a bit when the amp is not in use during the day. Switching B+ is not an option because of the BG's, and all other options are probably introducing more stress on the tubes then just leaving them on all the time.

Thanks,
NC
