I hear so many people killed their tubes. I wonder why, boosting heater voltage never caused me to lose one. And I pushed it all the way to 66% on occasion, and 33% routinely. I mean permanent boost.

Failure to RTFM.
Rather that boost the filament voltage I hit the G1-K button.
It boosted it a bit so I hit a couple more times. The third time
killed it.
