Could someone please explain why it is thought to be a good idea to wait between turning a tube amp or preamp off and then back on again? How long should the waiting period be? Thanks.
How can do you extend the life of your tubes?
My amp premp and cdp are tubes. I read years ago, proportionatley, the most tube wears comes from powering up. And shutting down, and then powering up shortly is life shortener for sure. Shortly is too vauge. What do you tubers do to lenghten the life of your tubes, especially when we're talkng NOS and the like? thanks in advance.
