How do I know when to replace tubes?

 If your Reactor 50/50 develops a high pitch microphonic squealing.
 When you experience a loss of output power
 When the amp connually blows fuses
 When tubes visibly look “shot” (strong whish cast, no warm glow)
 Sound is “dirty” on what you expect should be clean sengs
