The little russian military 6C19PI tube they use in the t16 kit is a rugged little bastard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I think you can get allot longer life out of it than a couple of years hehehe. And it is CHEAP! You can get 10 for $20 *LOL*

I will say this in defense of the longevity of tubes, the set in my fender are the original GE's from 1970 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Ramos's SIG

5 % equipment

90 % install

5% beer

That car audio rule of thumb, 5% equipment, 90% install, 5% beer,

why doesn't it apply to home audio ? If it does apply to home audio,

then your 1970's tube amp only makes a 5% impact in your sound system?

/hehehehehe
