I would strongly second Warner's caution above. You shouldn't leave a tube amp without a load and using a resistor across the taps is very prone to mistakes -- remember a resistor would have to be connected to the live taps!!
Safe way to change cables with tube amp on...
Couldn't figure out a way to phrase my question so here's the longer version.
I have an older ARC D250 amp and was told that one shouldn't remove the speaker cables with the amp on. Is there a way to acomplish this as I hate to power down the amp when trying different cable combinations.
Would a resistor across another set of taps work on the amp?
