RE: Nobody here ever said tubes don't need break in. (nt)

I thought the biggest thing that needs to break-in with tubes is the cathode coating.

As I understand it new tubes have uneven electron emissions until the cathode coating burns in.

I once asked the guy at Jensen transformer about the burn in period for they excellent MC SUTs.


He just laughed.
