All gear takes time,tubes more than ss.I'm a tube guy and I usually turn the switch about an hour or 2 before settling in.Kinda like decanting that treasured red wine.New equipment all depends,JRDG Capri owners suggest 500 to 700 hours of burn in and that's solid state.Equipment with V caps average 500 hours.Other than Magnepans,many weeks,I don't have an estimate for speakers,or cabling.These numbers are based on my experience on my system,and should not be interpreted as an absolute.
