12AU7 tube flash at Cornet2 power up?
« on: 1 Mar 2011, 11:21 pm »
I have a number of nice 12AU7s and one of them is a long black plate Lansdale (6189). However, it does flash for a brief moment upon powering up. Anything to worry about?

I should add that the tube tests strong in my tester, and no shorts.

Thanks.

It is not uncommon for European tubes to flash somewhat at turn on.

I don't think this is a Euro tube. It looks like this one (RCA made perhaps?).
