Why no heated gear?


Sitting here listening to The White Stripes with the tubes glowing, gear nice and warm, and sounding fantastic. All but two hours ago the system was cold and sounding rather unimpressive, as it does when cold. I got to thinking why don't manufacturers add heating elements to equipment to bring it too optimal temperature quicker. I remember reading about an esoteric speaker manufacturer that did this to his active speakers to eliminate that "cold" sound. That's all I have ever heard about it. Now I know I could turn the system on sooner when I want to listen but we all have those last minute listening sessions. In reality I should switch to SS and leave it on all the time, but my Mc275 is too good to get rid off. Please post your opinions.

No problem, just add a heating pad, or two. Then quickly follow with a laptop cooler. I will not bore you with may wife's to hot or to cool routine.
I saw an 'instant on' modification for a (tube) table radio.
I don't remember the exact mod except it was very simple. Ran the heaters at a very low level and lowered turnon / stable time quite a bit.

don't do it.
I had a friend who used a hair dryer to heat his cartridge for a few seconds before playing.
I guess it depends on the amp. My tubed amp warms up in about 1/2 hour. My tubed preamp has standby for about 1 minute before you can play it, but also sounds best after about 1/2 hour.
