I'm very interested in operating points. I leave my amps on all day mostly - the TV and Radio go through them as well - everything comes from my computer > DAC > amps.
So what do we know about longevity of 2a3s at 15W, 12.5W, 10W. Any Data?
Thorsten used to say Sovtek monoplates sounded better at 45 operating points.
