I want to know if there are any REAL benefits from babying a radio or an amp? I hear lots of talk about running lower RF power to "save the finals" or "save the tubes" and even hear people talk about
if you really want to "baby" an amp assuming you already know how to operate it, use more than barely enough cooling, watch the filament voltage, and blow it out periodically. Oil the fans if they ta
Charles, I reckon the best thing you can do to ensure tube longevity in your amplifier is check with an accurate RMS calibrated AC voltmeter to see whether or not the filament voltage measured right
** Yes but you have to seperate facts from myths ** Ive managed to keep the original Eimac 3-500's in my 1964 LK-500ZC by running at 1200W and regularly gettering them. At the same time the TS-940/TS
