RE: Oops...time to change that tube

I'm a little judge, here, maybe, But I'd guess you and tubes need to take a time out.

I can't even fathom how much $$ (inflation adjusted) you spent over the years keeping all your tube gear working properly....

One thing? Rectifier tubes can mostly be replaced with SS and a time delay relay. Does that work for you or does the magic of tubes extend to the rectifier as well?

I'm looking at the VTA Monobloc M125 but would only go that way with the SS rectifier and such a relay. I'm not certain the rectifier tube (5AR4) can handle all the demands......
Too much is never enough
