New Tubes- Need Burn-In?


Hey guys- a question.

I just put a new matched quad of Electro Harmonix KT-88EH in my Cayin A-88T Integrated. I properly biased the amp, and after a couple of hours of warm up there is still a touch of "glare" or hardness evident.

I know these brand new tubes need time to burn in...how long a wait is reasonable before I decide whether the EH tubes are the ticket or not? Any tips on what to expect?

Thanks!

I am a big-time Svetlana fan. a close second would be JJ (blue tube). Still, EH has lots of people who love them.
