Do attenuators actually save life on the power tubes in a tube amp?
Attenuators such as the THD Hotplate are advertised with saying that by using them, the power tubes aren't driven as hard, and therefore they will last longer. But isn't an attenuator cutting down the volume of the speaker and not how hard the power tubes are driven? What I'm asking is will the attenuator do what it says, as far as preserving tube lasting?
yes...
