By the way, I don't think it is the case that you need to have an audio signal being passed to a tube amp. It is just the case that some tube amps need to have a load (headphones plugged into them or the preamp being used) while they are on (but I guess not OTL amps). At least this is my interpretation of what I have read.

Also something I've heard regarding Woo amps is that it's bad to run them without an audio signal being pass to them. Is this the case with the Raptor or is okay to have it turned on without music playing? Thanks for any comments. |
