| Burn-in time for a Shuguang 845B tube? I forgot to mention that tubes have the greatest chance of failure in their first 25 hours of use. Even if you buy tubes used or have them burned in at the factory, tube internals can shift during shipping, and this is more true the larger the tub... | |
| Burn-in time for a Shuguang 845B tube? Chuckie, some will argue that no tube amplifier should be left unattended to avoid the risk of fire in the event of a catastrophic tube failure. 845, 805 and 211 based amplifiers have over 1000v applied to the tubes grid, therefore, by the nature... | |

| Cable help with SET amp Your system is not what I would call a typical SET setup. The amp is a parallel 845 producing 30w into a fairly inefficient speaker. Most of the information that you are reading regarding higher gauged cables etc. are based on flea (2A3) to low (3... | |
