I read in the tube FAQ that the greatest chance of failure for a tube is during powering on, and that it is recommended that the amp be left on sometimes in order to avoid this. Is this really much of an issue, though? I'm somewhat worried about creating so much heat with my Darkvoice, and the power consumption irks me a little bit. I mean, it's not like the tubes would exactly be expensive to replace. A new pair would run me $30-$50, so it's not back-breaking in the slightest.
But, I'm a n00b. Any other opinions on the matter?
