Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Depend. but...

small tubes should be pretty much burned in after 24 hours. Then most tubed products require about a 30 minute warm up before critical listening.

FWIW, be careful in judging tubes. The differences can often be very subtle unless you just happen to be listening for the exact attribute that a particular tube will bring to your system, and in the same vein you might well initially hear a great improvement in one area, like bass, and overlook for some time that the high frequencies as not as balanced/smooth as you would like them to be. Tube rolling is fun but you've got to pay attention! :-)
