Re: Where can I get switches rated for HT?
But, is there a problem due to arcing currents causing MOSFET breakdown in tube amps? This is the reason I had not used them.  
 
In EHT power supplys this can be a problem both from conduction and induction. ie induced current in MOSFETs breaking down the gates.
