Some tube amps can be on without a speaker load (as long as it's low power) and some will short out at dc right away. With any tube amp (especially the 100 watt ARC's) it's best not to take any chances. Use an old pair of speakers or a dummy power resistor. But check the owner's manual for the last word.
Can you warm up your tube amp ...
....without plugging in the IC's and any speaker cables without damage?
I am about ready (1-2 weeks away) to A/B my ASL Hurricanes against my ARC VT 100mkll. I have not used the ARC in over two weeks and would like to warm it up for a fair comparison. Can the about suggestions be done? Thanks
