Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Re: Thanks...

Not sure what you mean by "grids age differently". I have used pairs of TUBES that were well matched to start but after extensive use were somewhat unmatched although not to the point damaging an amp (unless you count sudden and catastrophic failure as aging). In all cases of aging or sudden failure I've beeen able to shut things down before serious damage occurs (nothing more than replacing screen stopper resistor and so on). Note that my tube stuff is mostly vintage and I DO NOT leave it on 24-7. If I can't get to it in 30 sec or less I turn it off.
