Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up


My Primaluna Tube amps require a 4 hour warm-up in order to enter the Glory Zone. My previous Muzishare X7 tube amp was the same. Just wondering if this holds with the experience of other tube ampers.

My David Berning designed Linear Tube Audio ZOTL40 takes about 10 minutes to get there.

Funny you should bring this up. While the system sounds great after 20 minutes, I too have noticed that things get sublime after about 4 hours. All analog and tubes here.

I have never had a tube integrated amp and I’ve never had a tube preamp take more than 15-20 minutes and an amp take more than an hour to reach the “Sweet Spot “.

10-15 minutes is great, but after an hour or two I'm often finishing my 2nd hazy IPA and it sounds wonderful! 😂

Op, +1 although my amp was more like 3 hours. Or should I say at least 3 hours
