I friend had flames coming out of the top of his power amp do to a tube failure. I'd be more worried about the house burning down than damage to a component.
Tube failure -- what would happen in worst case?
How do you determine when a tube is to be replaced?
Can a tube ever glow bright red and blow up?
If it does, would it damage the amp itself as well as other components including the speakers?
