I am reading so much here about problems with the filament connections of 6C33Cs that I am beginning to think I must have a problem with mine that I don't want to know about. In 6 years I have never removed any of the twelve 6C33Cs (in my Atma MA240 monoblocks) from its socket. The amps sound wonderful and there is no indication of any malfunction (which I could detect if present, since my amps were built to allow me to bias each power tube separately). Thus I am predisposed to leave well enough alone. If I pull the tubes to put SST on them and then they later fail, I will never know who or what to blame. Meantime, the SST on all the OTHER connections in my system (including preamp tube pins) continues to work wonders.
