I recently got an older tube amplifier , since ti was dirty from being left for a long time in an old shed i took the covers off and cleaned it , now I am listening it also with the covers off , everything works etc.
Now I wonder do tubes at lower voltages and lower frequencies such as in the audio stuff emit some sort of x ray or other frequency radiation or are they completely safe in these applications?
a crt for example does emit some radiation but it's plate voltage I assume is also much higher and so is the operating frequency , so does it depend on both the frequency and plate voltage or more on voltage?
