Do tubes have a break in period?


Hi, I just re-tubed my Cary V12 and wondered if like other electonic components (cables, cartridges, etc.), do tubes have a break-in period? And if so how long till they sound their best?

I tend to agree. Most I've tried have sounded their best after about 20-30 hours. If they don't by then, they probably won't ever.
