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've never experienced such a long warmup time with tube gear (usually fine in 20-30 minutes with "maybe" a slight improvement over the next 30 minutes).

Of course the speakers, turntable bearing/cartridge, CD deck, tape deck et cetera were also warming up @ the same time.

This said (since the 70's) I've never owned PP amps with large output tubes (just PP 6L6/EL84/EL34, and single ended EL84/2A3/300B amps).
