In Reply to: Wright phono tubes burning out? posted by JJ Triode on April 22, 2007 at 14:46:20:
The tubes tend to get noisy. This usually happens after about 1 1/2-2 yrs for me. According to Geo Wright, this is a problem with some of the 6ER5's but not all. But my track record shows a life span of 1 1/2-2 yrs. Interestingly, the WPP 200 uses a different tube. Even with the tube life problems of the 100, it is still a great phono preamp. I highly recommend it to all.
Life has lots of trials and lots of music to help us through them.
