BHK Signature Amplifiers

Tube life

Keep a spare set

Place the other
tube in the socket

Tubes have limited life spans. With normal use of a few hours a day they can go for many years without 
replacement. The sonic characteristics of tubes will change over time. At first, many hours are needed 
to sound best as they break in. As time goes on they will perform beautifully and reach their peak 
performance. But with extended use, typically a year or two of service, their performance decreases 
slightly and the BHK will not sound as it did. This indicates it is time to change the tubes.

Under normal usage we recommend changing the tubes every one to two years. Replacement 
matched pairs are available from PS Audio as well as numerous tube retailers.

It probably makes sense to stock a fresh pair of tubes just in case. While not likely to fail or need to be 
replaced often, tubes are the single most vulnerable parts in the BHK Signature Amplifier.

For those users wishing to remotely turn on and off the BHK, we provide a trigger input. This input 
accepts from 5 to 12 volts. When a positive voltage within limits is applied, the amplifier will come out 
of standby and turn on. Removing the voltage puts the BHK in standby mode.
