Tenor Audio

They're suppose to make an announcement about their new contact info any day now but they're not they're probably not the quickest in updating their site.

Fatparrot, what do you mean by Tenor amps chewing up their tubes? Are you asking about their lifespan or Tenor's supply of tubes?

Well, replacement tubes is what I want to talk to them about. I guess now that the warranty is worthless anyway I could just get 6C33Cs elsewhere, but I thought I'd try them first.

No Howie, I am talking about the power output tubes. These are the 3 nipple 6C33C's. I heard that they had a relatively short life span, due to the design of the Tenor circuitry.

The so-called restructure annoucement has been coming for 6 week now. Unlikely it will happen. but you never know Von Shiekert came out of bankruptcy.

Don't count them out yet. Someone from Tenor will be posting here as soon as everything is finalized. I have had two pair of OTLs (one of the first and one of the last) and the output tubes lifespan has a lot to do with speaker load. I run mine 6 plus hours everyday and get about 6 months. I am getting a solidstate back up soon. The last pair have been working great. Given the right speaker and front end I have yet to hear anything I like better(maybe the Lamm ML2). I had the hybrid in between the OTLs and just had to have the OTLs back. Although the warranties are gone, service will be available for both the OTL and the hybrid.
