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.

By the time I’m turning the things off after 4+ hours, they’re at their sweetest and most three dimensional. This seems to hold at any time of the day too, so I don't think it's related to cleaner power as the day winds down.

While the system sounds great after 20 minutes, I too have noticed that things get sublime after about 4 hours. All analog and tubes here.
