I recently had a loose connection in one of my output tubes in one of my monoblocks and it arced and shorted out some equipment upstream from it. The fellow who repaired my equipment thought it was the loose connection that caused it.(I recently moved the monoblock when I repositioned my speakers). As a long time tube person I know that it could of arced anyway but now I always make sure my output tubes are fully seated.
