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?

Burn in??????!

Tubes sound and perform best during their first 100 hours. Their very best the first 50 hours. They continually degrade after that.
Agree with mapman- why waste tube life- you don't put your car on rollers to bed the tyres in, you just take it easy for a while or end up in a hedge.

Keep a diary of hours and perceived sound if you're that anal unless it's the istant gratification of a bedded in system you're after.
On, no signal needed, 60 hrs, burn-in is done.

I bought tubes from Brent Jesse. 

Did NOT like them. 

He said, ok, finish burning them in, then keep or return them. Top line were his instructions which I followed.

They did change slightly, I still did not like them. I picked another I knew I liked (I had used spares of them), half the price, full refund (I paid return shipping)

Sounded great brand new and GREATER after 40-60 hrs.
