How often does the tube in a BB need to be replaced? I remember reading about one player replacing his after 10 hours. What is the experience of BB users in this regard?

Thanks

12AX7s tend to last a long time. I have some in my gear that are many decades old.

Suggest you contact Brad Sarno. He recommends certain tubes to avoide.

Funny, it seems like ages ago, but that thread was just a couple of months ago, around the start of this covid-19 lockdown.
