Is it possible fir a failing rectifier tube to cause arcing

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

on the drivers tubes? My two driver tubes in my integrated amp started arcing and I assumed the tubes were at fault. Days later my rectifier
tube flashed and blew my amp fuse. I tested it and there was no continuity, so it was effectively dead. I also tested the driver tubes, and they test fine.

I installed a new rectifier tube and the driver tubes are working fine
now.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Thanks.
