Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life?
I leave my tube preamp on 24/7 because I have a class A solid state amp that takes a long time to sound it's best. 
Are all amps being built wrong?
Because a current drive amp is only useful with a speaker that has a flat impedance. Otherwise the amp will act as a tone control and follow the dips and peaks of the speaker's impedance curve. This can hardly be called "accurate"!How useful would... 
Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life?
Tubes are NOT like fine wine! They DO NOT improve with age! If fact when they are brand new and at 100% cathode emissions that is their peak performance. They only decline with use as the cathode coating gets used up. James Bongiorno pointed this ...

If Power Cords Don't Matter...
Some people are so gullible, they feel the rain and open their umbrellas. Others are more sophisticated data people, they check the weather report and if it says dry, they act accordingly. Because they know weather reports are science and all the ... 
Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp?
Not sure why power supply tubes in a preamp impact harmonics?  Maybe cause it cleans up power.  If input components, eg streamer/phonostage, connected to preamp all have great power supply than preamp power tubes would seem less important.I don't ...
