Yay, I'm just about finished assembling my SSE. I built it with all the options: UL/triode switch, SS/Tube switch, CFB switch, and a rotary switch to change cathode bias resistor values. Is it OK to toggle any/all of the switches while the amp is powered on? Would like to do some instant A/B comparisons of the various modes if possible. Thanks!
No, do not change any settings with the power on! All of them can destroy speakers with loud pops. Changing some of the settings while on can potentially kill your amp too.
Unfortunately I also recommend waiting for the tube rectifier to be able to cool off between power ups. Tube rectifiers can arc over and destroy themselves if powered back on while still hot.
