holiday cheers Teta, i felt burned out in the last weeks of
december, can not get myself to do any diy work....
this week i will try to recover by doing what i do in the month
of january, that is wind several transformers, hopefully that will
give me back inertia and recover bearings.....
as long as there is no input to any power amp without
speaker loads, then it is safe....
what is dangerous to the amps with output transformers
is when there is signal input and the speakers gets disconnected...
another reason to go OTL......
Happy New Year, Master Tony!
So I can use both 2A3 and 5894 SET tube amps which I got from you, I bought an A-B amp switcher that allows me to connect and switch between as many as six amps to the same set of speakers. This is what I got:

Based on our discussions before, I remember you saying that tube amps should always have a speaker load before switching it on. Since the A-B switcher switches between two active amps, switching between amps necessarily disconnects one active amp from the speakers. Is this safe? The product description of the A-B switcher states: "Protection circuitry safely guards unselected amps or speakers." Really appreciate your guidance on this.
Thanks,
Teta
