How long is the break-in time for a Sophia Electric Blue 6SN7 tube?


I just installed a pair of these tubes in my Modwright 5400 Signature Truth CD player.  They sound pretty good right away but the manufacturer says they will get considerably better in time.

My experience with Sophia tubes in general is 150 hours is the optimal point but I will admit, I have never had an amp with the 6SN7s in it.  I would trust Sue.  

Can't see any reason to leave an amp on 24/7 unless you have very restricted listening windows and you need to make every minute count.  Otherwise, you are just burning away money.  I can't speak about Modwright but my amps take 20 minutes to warm up.
