Re: Newbie tube question- Tube failure

I have had one tube failure and it was a "run away" situation which occured at start up. Luckily, my amps are pretty hearty and I cut it off before any damage was done to my amp.

In regards to leaving the amps on and leaving the room. Here is my approach. I am not going to leave the house with them on, but if I am going to be out of the room for a few minutes, 15 or so - I don't turn them off. (It's more stressfull to turn the amps on and off then just leaving it on)

But I would not leave them unattended for an extended period of time.
