Do all tubes glow

In my CDP the two 6922 tubes glow and the two E83CCS do not glow but are hot, and the unit seems to play fine. Thoughts?

Currently I've got a pair of old Mullard 12AX7 and a pair of Telefunken 6922. Figured I'd let the English and Germans fight it out one more time in my CDP.

So if they’re glowing even with no music they’re breaking in. Caveat: I'm no expert on this. If I'm wrong I hope someone corrects me.
