Don’t think you have to remove them. I’ve driven to and from the dealer (4 hrs one way) with a pair of mono blocks in the car. Tubes in place. No boxes BUT I did have each amp in the huge, lower half custom-fit styrofoam block they shipped in. Dealer was okay with doing it that way.
remove tubes before moving cross town?
if it were under your total control, still think you need to remove tubes from the gear? (in this case, ARC Ref 150 and 5se. and the modwright CDP)
thanks
