How long will tubes last in a pre-amp?


My Sonic frontiers Line One seems fine, tho I haven't put anything else in place of it to test.

It is a decade or more old.  Should I get worried about the tubes?

SF Line 1 uses full filament power but a very low B+ so the tubes will be running without cathode stripping.  It is designed to have the tubes warm without being at the expense of tube longevity.
