I'm simply wondering how long typical PA and PO tubes will last (with still superior dynamics and tone). The only reference I've seen on this is on the MESA/Boogie page, which, I believe, stated the following...
Pre-amp ... 2-3 years
Power ... 1-2 years
Is this anywhere close? I want a heads up because I'm aware that the tubes will slowly start to deterriorate in quality over time, something that my ears could grow accustomed to, therefore never knowing when it's time to replace. Thanks a bundle in advance.
BTW - This is all assuming a 3-5 day practice routine playing at high volumes for 3-5 hours a day.
