I didn't know they only lasted 10,000 hours. I will keep that in mind.FWIW, the owner's manual for my Audio Note DAC recommends that I turn it on and leave it on. They say that the tubes will last just as long leaving them on as if they are cycled on and off. I believe there are other reasons why they recommend this too. Like keeping the Blackgates on continuous burn in because they sound better that way.
Anyway, thanks for the info about the Mullard premium tube life. It is helpful.
