Two things about tubes

Hi guys,
Another post to learn before to spend my money.
Do the tubes gear need a pre-heat time before starting to listening to ???
Do the tubes are noise and able to produce enough audible noise between songs ??
Thanks for your time in educating me.

I've had two tube preamps, and one tube integrated. If you have efficient speakers and you sit close you MIGHT hear a slight hiss if your room is otherwise very quiet. My tube integrated is dead quiet with my 92db Von Schweikert speakers. I like to turn my tube gear on 15-30 minutes before I sit down to listen.

I have a tube pre and power amplifiers and they`re silent. My speakers are 94db sensitivity.Power amp sounds good even when cold(initial start up) after 25-30 minutes it`s full steam ahead.
