How can do you extend the life of your tubes?
Hijack away...it's all good 
How can do you extend the life of your tubes?
thanks guys...I'm doing the same. Now how about this:how do you know your tubes are beginning to fail and your music is suffering from tube deteriration? Do you bring you little babies to the tube Doctor to be tested? I would not know what to list...

onemug, I too wait to power up my amp again after a listening session. At least one hour, but I try not to power down until the music is over for the day. Cannot always do, of course, but that practice is in my listening choreography.

There is a Bel Canto SET 40 for sale on the 'gon for a fair price, which appears to be negotiable. This (I own a SET 40, as well) is a honey of an amp. Bel Canto does not make them like this anymore. It's rare and a catch for anyone looking for an... 
Speaker finish?
Ah DQ 10s with a sub. Midrange to die for. I moved from my huge Maggies to these. No waf problem there,being the square footage, until I had microfaret (sp?)capacitors installed in place of the stock. Still, all in all, a good move.

Tom, what can I say: lmao 
Speaker finish?
That's a good one. My wife loves the look of the tubes, however, she has taken a bedroom and we turn it into a very major walk in closet. I suppose there is a balance. My rig costs 5x more than her closet which was ridiculous. Looking back, not as...

I replaced my Def1.5 stock spikes with 1.5inch Audiopoints. Immediate gratification, top to bottom. I'm saving those babies for my Def IVs though I may trade up to 2inch cones. This is a few hundred dollar tweak that many do not think about when s... 
I feel like an idiot; lessons learned
Rule number 1: Always check the plug.  
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
SchwO6, how (by yourself?) did you position your Defs on these babies? You can't slide them once they are atop the SPs. This is some serious weight you have to hold while ,forget about just getting then to properly sit on the SPs, but how do you a...

since we're at the roundup sitting 'round the campfire and talking fluent Zu here's a question for ya:My Def 1.5s have only known Ibis and Varials. Any Zubodies have (AB) experience with other wires? I mean, how often do you find a speaker manufac...

I love my SET amp and pre, but I would love to hear a YBA Passion amp coupled with my Pre. I've owned two yba integrated amps. The absolutle sweetest (Phil is responsible for my leap to the tube side and I followed a little later on with SET. Than...
