In Reply to: Tube newcomer questions: warm-up, etc. posted by T Wheeler on July 24, 2002 at 07:46:45:
About 30 seconds to a minute is all the warm up usually needed. If the wife messes up, she will be rewarded with some nasty sound for a moment, but nothing will get hurt.Tubes are consumables, so leaving them on when you're not listening is a matter of burning dollars. A properly designed amp will pop a fuse if anything goes wrong, and a fuse is usuall plenty fast enough to keep anything bad from happening to a tube amp. Transistors have a reputation of comitting suicide in order to save the fuse!
Enjoy the music!
