Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up

Which Prima Luna?

The dialogue HP premium sitting in the rack sounds pretty good by the time the preamp is warmed up… (90 seconds.)

It could also be that the dross and flotsam of/from the stress of the day take 4 hours to be washed away…?

The old VTLs also sounded good pretty quickly.

But maybe there is somethng like capacitors forming that is happening?

When I had my Viva, it was 45 minutes. You could set your watch by it. 4 hours seems long, but who knows.  Ask Kevin from Upscale.  He’s pretty familiar with that brand so I hear. 

Solid state monos here: on and idle about 6-9 pm , listening about 10 am or so, that is my laser beam zone, where the sound just lasers my ears with clarity and envelopes me with perfection. 
same with pre and spinner, on and morning listening, there is a huge difference from initial “on” and the 12-20 hours at idle to warm.

the odyssey strato amps take about 5-7days……yup days, but worth the wait.

clariy, bass, crunchy Mustaine mids!
