As I've posted in other threads, I own a PrimaLuna integrated amp that senses when a power tube is about to fail, puts the amp in safe mode - - and tells you which power tube is the culprit. In several years of ownership that feature has kicked in twice - potentially saving me a lot of grief and money.
Questions for the group - are there any other tube amp manufacturers that offer a similar feature? If not, why not? I don't pretend to understand how the "bad tube indicator" circuit in the PrimaLuna works - - or the costs involved. But it has proven its worth to me, and I rest a bit easier knowing it actually works.
