In Reply to: Can a tube that is 53 years "NOS" really need burn in posted by Mechans on June 2, 2006 at 19:23:44:
Sometimes tubes that sit unused for a long period will build up a contamination coating on the cathode. It's sometimes referred to as cathode poisoning. Until that burns off (from use), the tube won't perform at its best.That may be what is going on with your tubes.
