If you off yourself, at least have the decency to leave a note to your widow and kids saying that I warned you!
As a consequence of their specialized nature, components used in tube circuits are either expensive, rare, or (unfortunately too often) both. So you want to minimize the number of components reduced to a charred mass. When the inevitable happens, don’t come looking for me to pay for it.
