As others have said below, it will vary from amp to amp according to the type of tubes it uses, how hard they are driven, and depending on whether or not you get hooked on tube rolling.Bottom line is how it relates to the rest of your lifestyle. Let's say you buy an amp which ends up costing you around $200 per year on tubes, for which you receive thousands of hours of entertainment. Is that good value? How does it compare to dinner & the theatre for 2 on one occasion? How does it compare to the cost of running your car? etc.etc.
It's all relative, and if a tube amp provides relatively high levels of satisfaction for a relatively small outlay, then who's counting?
