"They usually have much less of a lifespan than transistors" Strongly disagree. It depends how the circuit is designed. Tubes in many properly designed vintage gear still work perfectly after 10 years or more. Telefunken 12AX7, for example, were rated for 100,000 hours (That's 11 hours of continous use). Transmitter tubes in radio stations are left on all the time, and the world record I believe is 23 years before replacement.
