Warm Up Time Tube Phono Preamplifiers


New to tubes, wondering about warm up time for new Project Phono DS Box and after listening is it wise to turn off? I leave all solid state gear, amplifiers, sources on or at least in standby.

You should turn off your tube gear.  Just wears out the tubes.   Usually tube gear sounds best after 15-30 minutes.
Lak is right.  If a new phono stage, or new tubes...the tubes will take ~50-100 hours to settle down...the phono stage could take longer.

Best way is to listen and enjoy the ride :)
