Firing up old tube amps. Should I worry?


Hey, I'm going to fire up a pair of World Audio Design KEL80 monoblocks I built probably 15 years ago. They probably haven't been on in 10+ years. Anything I should worry about? All parts used back then were new and good ones - may have upgraded the capacitors. I don't have a Variac, so I can't ramp up the voltage. They worked back then, but I'm just a little concerned they'll arc or something and blow my speakers.

Buy a cheap pair of speakers from Best Buy, stand back, put some safety glasses on, flip the switch and use the return policy.
