Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up


My Primaluna Tube amps require a 4 hour warm-up in order to enter the Glory Zone. My previous Muzishare X7 tube amp was the same. Just wondering if this holds with the experience of other tube ampers.

I agree with lancelock. On the LTA design. What a benefit. Think about it over the lifetime of YOUR time. LTA deservingly should be considered with appreciation that often isn’t spoken about. For the Ultralinear, I can listen at the ten minute mark and get full value at about 30. Maybe due to the transformerless design,without noise, or product weight, ez access and inexpensive tube replacement, and the fact that the tubes last far beyond the norm so can remain on and don’t need to wait for any warmup.  What’s wrong with this other than one needs consideration for moderately efficient transducers for this design to ultimately not be a great choice?
