Yes; that would typically be normal, in a tubed component with a, "Standby" option.       Regarding B+:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5hOm3b3RnA  
Peachtree Grand X1 question
The typical tubed component, when in, "Standby" will keep the filaments/heaters on (some, at half voltage), but- without B+ to the plates. 
Why Don't More People Into Music Reproduction At Home Play Around With Musical Instruments
I completely agree with your first paragraph’s premise, though it should be recognized; many aren’t thusly concerned.        Also: same query as yogiboy’s (where you get your stats). 
What to do with pre-owned vinyl?
Salvation Army, +1.     Also; many public Libraries have vinyl collections and donations are tax deductible.     Get a receipt, if you feel valuation exceeds $250.00:     https://extranet.winnefox.org/sites/extranet.winnefox.org/files/Donations%2...

And here I thought I was doing at least one thing, in my life, that was, "normal".      ie: https://www.quora.com/What-are-guitar-string-frequencies                 Whatever Mr Cox’s goal; he hit it out of the park, with the SVT.

@jmforge- The lowest Bass Guitar note is E2 (82.4 Hz).       There were/are a variety of speaker cabinets, designed to accompany the SVT amp.      Some for practice and some for moving real air, at one (individual) instrument’s primary frequencies...

Plus one for scale.        When I hear complaints about systems being unable to deliver the dynamics and size of a live orchestra, I guess they’ve never heard any of the IRS Series (even the Beta), with (say) a pair of VTL 300s.               Perh...

@teo_audio:  Save your keystrokes!      There are many posers on this site, that think they know something about Science.        All obsessively attempting to categorically prove their side of an argument, with their favorite THEORY.      Classic ...

I just prefer not to give myself a reason to think about possible timing/phase anomalies, anywhere in my music's path.      That's been my stance, since the early Eighties.       Like everything else; opinions vary.

I said, "personally".        You’re welcome to your opinion, if you have one regarding time-constants (which is to what I referred, but- you never addressed) and anyone else’s, that you value.
