Would using a 10A variac help tube life? Or decrease it?
I am new to this but have been using it as I've seen light dimmers really increase light bulbs life to many years. That way inrush current can't kill the filament on turnon. I suppose those ICL's sold would help too. I also stop under 115V to help on old amps not designed for 122V. Heaters are running higher at todays voltages too.
