And Ralph, you have mentioned in the past that you recommend keeping the amp in warm-up phase for 72 hours after inserting new 6AS7s to prolong thier life. Any risk of damage if they arc during that warm-up/break-in phase? (since likely folks will be working & sleeping at some point in that 72 hours).
