Warm Up Time Tube Phono Preamplifiers

New to tubes, wondering about warm up time for new Project Phono DS Box and after listening is it wise to turn off? I leave all solid state gear, amplifiers, sources on or at least in standby.

Last night enjoyed some Lee Morgan and Bill Evans. Am interested in the variety of tubes available and the differences that other members mention. Curious and look forward to picking some up and checking out.

If a new phono stage, or new tubes...the tubes will take ~50-100 hours to settle down...the phono stage could take longer. Best way is to listen and enjoy the ride :)
