I have 3 tube integrated amps between 2 systems - Line Magnetic 518IA, (845 tubes), Finale Audio Mk2 7189A (7189A/EL84M tubes, and an Audio Audio Spirit 2 (KT88) none take 4 hours to warm up; each sounds good after initial 15 minutes of warm up, and very good within the hour. If it took 4 hours 1st I’d look for new tubes andif that didn’t work then I’d be looking for new amps
