I am getting some new tubes for my amp, and I want to do a 24-hour burn in. How do I do that?
Do I turn it on but leave it on Standby for 24 hours?

Also, are there any benefits of doing this, anyway?

Tubes and transistors - no! Tubes will of course suffer from "aging" as cathode emissions decline with use - noise increases!
