I'm sure a lot of people (self included) don't like to leave hot amps on when they're not around for fear of fire hazard.

25 years ago my girlfriend was forced to leave her apartment one night after a fire in the one above it caused evacuation of her building. So later that night, after all the trauma over the fire above her apartment, she came to mine to spend the night.
It was in the wee hours of that particular night that my Dynaco PAS 2, left on most of the time, chose to erupt into flames...
I'm still around, just not listening at the moment. I don't leave my amp on if I'm leaving the house, but If I'm around doing chores and know I'll listen on and off during the day, I leave it on.

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.
