Sticking with valves on the pre amp though.

Simple answer, don't run the electric heater, run the amp. Family then huddles round the amp for warmth.

I didn't use to need the internet, my wife knew everything.

Once we've made sense of our world, we wanna go fuck up everybody else's because his or her truth doesn't match mine. But this is the problem. Truth is individual calculation. Which means because we all have different perspectives, there isn't one singular truth, is there?
