Belles 21A standby mode?

Hi,

I recently obtained a 21A and wonder if any 21A owners experience the same. I noticed after plugging the unit in that the tubes glowed as if the 21A was powered on. The manual makes no mention of a standby mode. With the unit switched off, the tubes appear to still have voltage on them. Just wondering....thanks.

Maybe this an apples to oranges comparision...
I also have a Belles 20A, plugged it back in, power swich off and there is a faint glow on the filaments. When powered on, the glow reaches the intensity that I see with the 21A powered off.

Jmann....have you gotten any further details or information re: the tubes in the 21A and the standby mode? My emails have not been answered yet.

Turns out to be a non-issue - 21A is operating fine. I have the option of sending it back for a checkup if it makes me feel better. Sorry for all the commotion.
