Mornin' Dave.
Much more modern tube design is one good reason. Another is they are easier
to locate when the last vestiges of RF have been wrung out of them.
My AL-800H has two metal/ceramic jugs in it, the 3cx800a7 is known to be
able take a beating as long as its not too much of one and still go on.
My amp is at leas 8 yrs old, but is used, believe it has the original
ENIAC's in it. Still puts out *legal* with (really) a sneeze.
73's,
