In Reply to: RE: Tube Handling posted by Triode_Kingdom on July 28, 2021 at 22:04:40
I suspect driver and output tubes are 2 different animals in ONE major way. How hot they get.
Somebody wrote I should own a tube amp. Ridiculous. They shouldn't own a high powered car, whoever they are.....just as nutty.
We're talking 30years of clean room training here. It's only in the last few years I've been able to even use a PENCIL......forbidden in places I worked.
And yes, I imagine that low-level tubes CAN last thousands of hours. I just won't handle in such a way as to leave finger oils and such on 'em.....
Glasss won't break......with normal handling and I suspect some impact resistance, too....to the determinent of the internals.....
Too much is never enough

I have amplifiers from the '60s with the original power tubes. Whatever your experience with glass might be, it doesn't seem applicable to this industry.

Buy Chinese. Bury freedom.
The lamps in semiconductor PhotoLith quipemtn runs VERY hot. I think THAT's the difference.
I will cease worrying or even thinking about this as an issue......And use 'ordinary' care when installing or removing tubes....

only paranoiacs use gloves.
if finger prints were harmful to valves they would not wear any brand logo.N.
