Not familiar with that unit but 10 minutes does seem excessive. My cj premier 16 took less than a minute or so. Currently my Herron phono stage goes through the same start up sequence and takes less than a minute as well.

ARC SP-6 Warmup time
I just bought an Audio Research SP-6 preamp. It takes about ten minutes after powering on for the power lamp to stop blinking and the unit to start passing signals. Other than that it sounds perfect on all inputs. Is this at all normal? Does it indicate something is about to fail? Ten minutes to warm up is more than annoying.
