Yep, heat is the biggest enemy. Point to point wiring and greater spaciousness a good thing, best quality parts with higher heat ratings and cooling with fans helpful. Inrush current is in fact a concern with tube amps, my 845 SET with nearly 1000V has huge caps to charge up, this is major wear and tear. Point is be judicious with turning tube amps on and off.
amplifier longevity
Is there any difference in longevity and or reliability between valve amps and solid state amps?
I thought that perhaps design differences between ss and tube amps might be a factor here.
Specifically I am considering the valve amps by Rogue Audio vs. the solid state amps by Luxman, both great brands in my opinion.
Thanks!

@buellrider97 Sorry to hear having to give up the bike. Purchased my first Ducati this past summer, both tubes and Ducati have character! |
