Jim,
I thought most small signal tubes, such as 6922 and 12Ax7,can burn for 5 years with no trouble when used properly in a DAC or pre amp. Also FWIW, some manufacturers put the power switch in the back of the pre-amp or DAC because it is their intention that you turn it on and leave it on. Just a thought.I wonder if there is some sort of data table available that gives us MTBF figures for tubes like similar data we can obtain for transistors.
