Hi RATs!
So, my BlumGarts lasted over a year using 560uF 50V bypass caps.
50V caps have no place in tube equipment.

Still and all (and to Don also) - I would not use a cap rated at
anything less than 150V in any location in any tube equipment - and
that includes battery-powered radios commonly using 20V caps in the
power-supply as an example - and the ones that most commonly fail as
it happens. The incremental cost is minimal and the advantages
significant. In the realm of tube audio - even more so.
