1st Tube amp question


I just purchased my 1st integrated tube amp, the Wilkenson R8. Can I turn it on with no source and no hookup to speakers to start burnin time?  I have read it should always have a source and be hooked up to speakers so as not to damage. Can you offer advice for first time use?

Just hook up the system and play music.

You may very well observe changes in the SQ (both bad and good) over the next 200 hours, or so.

I just did this with some oddball gear for a newly put together mini system for our spare bed/computer room.

The SQ has improved considerably over the past 3 weeks.
