When I am pre-heating the room for a night of occupational listening, it may reach temps. of say 73,74 degrees. When room is not occupied, it may only dip to say 68 degrees at the lowest. I don't think this is enough of a threat to be concerned, the only thing I was wondering was if space heaters and other devices, small halogen desk lamps and computers kicking on and off would have any weakening or "residual" effect on power tubes or the longevity of the tube amp itself. I would like to believe that the designers of tube and other amps, would have alloted for such things in selecting power supplies for their designs, but I am reasonably certain the mfg'ers of cheap space heaters and cheap halogen desk lamps as well as computers, put no thought into the power criteria of their products. Believe it or not, I had a 27" Hitachi t.v. once, while I owned Naim equipment, that everytime the kids turned it on, my amp would buzz so disturbingly loud it was annoying. It took months for me to figure out what was causing this. Safe to say, the t.v. is now long gone, I sold it because it peed me off that much... A-man
