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.

It’s difficult to really know for sure because I’ve not listened to the same music at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours etc. It’s also difficult to remember & accurately compare w/ that time lapse in between. I don’t think our sonic memory is that good over time, even relatively short amounts. 
 

“Warm up” time could also be be within in our brains & it takes me time to relax, unwind & really get into the music & really enjoy it.

 

That all said, I have noticed w my Rogers EFH 200 Mark II ( 2- KT 150’s per side & a seriously large power transformer) that the sound definitely sounds more full body & fleshed out after about 1 hour. Beyond that , I can’t say much.
