That like 394,000 hours! My KT88s are only rated for 1500-2000 hours.
That really makes me wonder about hours. I always assumed it was hours of being on, but some of these responses lead me to believe that it is hours of being played.
So is the 1500-2000 hours when playing near the maximum rated output?
Lower volumes= 3000-5000 hours?
No signal at all= 45 years?
