Hey Coltrane 1, just so you know, the unit listed on A'gon is a FireBottle KT88 SET.
So it's configured in Triode mode.

I have a Fire-Bottle Universal SET amp that I have been having fun tube rolling with. I would like to do some A/B testing with my other amps. I have a simple 2-in-1-out switch that lets me switch two amps between one set of speakers. With my solid state amps I don't worry about leaving them on when there is no speaker load, but I've read that certain tube amps can be damaged if they are left on without being connected to speakers. Does anybody know how the Dennis Had amps work in this regard? I tried emailing him but got no response.

Hey PaulInWA, Dennis designs the amp to be completely stable without a load or even a short across the output terminals.
No worries on your switch system.

Hey Coltrane 1, Dennis is waiting on a KT88 FireBottle from a year or two ago as a trade-in on the new 300B amp.

Now this is interesting to know. Very few tube amps are stable into no load. I've always used a 10 ohm resister across the speaker terminals on my Inspire amps when testing.
