I went back to using the stock 6NIP tubes in my Musical Paradise preamp a few day ago. Last night, with the system totally off for hours, I was watching TV, and I heard the subwoofer turn on with a sudden thump, like when the preamp powers on but louder. Even scared the dogs. I looked and the sub was on but everything else was off, so I didn't know what to think caused it. Well today I powered up as usual, preamp first, it came on and the sub turned on. But when I looked at the tubes, one had no light, it's as hot as the others but no light, and both channels are still working and sounds fine. Is that possible, shouldn't one channel be dead ? Did this tube surge the sub last night, or did the sub surge it? How could either one do this with them being powered off. Should I rush to replace the tube? Any thoughts welcome. |

I wish I had one, but it's Chinese so availability is doubtful. |

tre, It's about 6NIP tubes, not the tubes you mentioned. |
