Tube rolling preamps

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Hi,

Just got my first pair of NOS tubes, and a second pair on their way in the mail.
I obviously want to experiment with combinations, so when I change them, do they need to cooled of first? (I'm aware they get hot,so the question is more towards tube longevity than burned fingers :) )

If the answer is yes, how long should I wait? (mins/hours)
