Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

I got flamed when I posted my answer...

... to a similar question.

I say leave the amp on and only turn it off as little as you can.

My two tube preamps are on 24/7/365.

My two tube poweramps go on two hours before I have a demo or want to listen for myself. They do go off when we close the joint.

Tubes will last LONGER if you don't turn them on & off all the time, and the gear will sound better when fully warmed up.
