If its the filament itself that glows brighter the first second or two.Make sure it is the filament only.The exact same spot should go back to its normal glow.Those tubes that do this kind of flash will always do this at turn on from a several hour could start.If your not sure,by another tube and check it out to be safe,plus you'll have a spare.
st-70 tube flash help
When I turned on my amp last night I noticed that the 12au7 tube flashed in the lowere area of the tube for a second or two. It did not seem to affect anything but decided it would be best to turn it off until I got some information from the "knowledgeable one's". The driver board is a Triode Electronics. The 12au7 is set between two ef86's.
What is the significance of the flash? Can it damage the amp? I will await to hear some feedback before I proceed.
Thanks
