Hello all,
I am running the stock Sovtek 2A3 tubes in my Stereomour. It runs everyday as my wife is a stay-home mom. I suspect it has 800+ hours on it now and have been wondering about tube life expectancy. I know from previous tube amps that power tubes tend to age slowly and you may not notice it for awhile. This is my first Bottlehead amp and my first experience with the 2A3 tube. Soooo, how many hours do you think is a reasonable lifespan for the Sovtec 2A3 in Stereomour?
