I suppose if a preamp tube arced and caused fire and burnt down the house, one could argue it can take out the speakers. But that should not be limited to only solid state amps. Just saying...
Do blown preamp tubes cause other issues?
As a relatively tube newbie I'd like to know if one of the preamp tubes blew while listening at loud levels using a solid state amp would there be the potential to damage the unit itself plus the amplifier and thus the speakers? I have ARC Ref 5 or 6 in mind. I don't ever seem to hear this discussed. Thanks for any info provided.
