Hi, I just re-tubed my Cary V12 and wondered if like other electonic components (cables, cartridges, etc.), do tubes have a break-in period? And if so how long till they sound their best?
From my limited experience, I've found that they have a relatively short break-in period -- a day or two max. I did not, however, conduct listening tests for high output tubes but don't suspect it's too much different.
