Since you brought up output tubes being destructive on their demise, I would like to ask another question. When an output tube eventually dies, doesn't it just take the main fuse out? The reason why I don't want to leave my amps on 24 hours a day is that I am afraid that when the output tube does go bad one day, I won't be here to shut it off.

What happens when a 300B gives up the ghost? Should I worry about such a thing or can I leave them on 24/7?

Thanks for your insight.
