TU882 Tube Explosion!

VK Music - Elekit & Triode Japan Forum

Welcome! Need support, you got it. Or share your ideas and experiences.

Got your attention! I just finished my TU882 and am duly impressed.

Two things I have noticed: Quite strong microphonics when the case is rapped. This headphone amp is capable of driving headphones to ear damaging levels.

Neurotic question: What happens when a tube dies while you are wearing headphones? Will it rupture your eardrums? Or will it gracefully sign off?

Another neurotic question: Is leaving the headphone amp on for a length of time without headphones a bad idea? Tube power amps should not be turned on with out load. How about wee tube headphone amps?
