The amp is DC coupled between input 12AX7 and driver 6SN7, but AC coupled between driver and output EL34. With still-hot filament and yet-to-discharged filter caps, I really only expect hot power-on to be less stressful than a cold one. At least with my diode rectified tube amp.One question still not answered is whether the higher cold resistance of Sovtek is a better thing than lower ones of NOS.
Maybe there is trade off involved between long filament life and low surge current?
