Tube Lifespan

[cam083gp]

Hi,

I've read that an audio tube lifespan is on average 10 000 hours (which translates roughly to 10 years with normal use)
I recently got a "vintage" (1993) Musical Fidelity Tubalog tube dac & am not sure how to check if the tubes need replacing because of the age?

Any guidance is appreciated?
