37-116 odd noise/distortion
#9

Well, it might be an engineer in me talking, but the downside of leaving a faulty part in a device is exactly it - there is a faulty part in the device, and Gosh only knows what it might do and in what way it will fail (it will) and what the consequences might be.

One thing is a weak tube: it is a natural thing, it works worse than a good tube but it is safe and simply is not performing as good as it should. A gassy tube has a timebomb in it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
