Maxxed-Out Tube Question
Posted by JLSmith on March 4, 2017 at 11:17:27:
I've been using a Maxxed-Out phono stage for almost 8 years now. The original 6H23P-EB tubes are still in it. They seem OK, but I'm wondering if this could be a situation where the sound has degraded so slowly that I'm not aware of it. And if I replaced the tubes, I'd be surprised at how much better it sounds. Does anyone know how many hours these tubes should be good for? Has anyone replaced them and been pleased with the change? The ones I've seen online seem to be $50-$60 each, so I don't want to replace perfectly good tubes.
Thanks.
Joe
