Burning in new power tubes
« on: 19 Jan 2005, 08:41 pm »
Sturgis suggested that I reconsider the KT90 tubes for my Rogue M150 monos.  Since then I have read that the EH KT88 tubes I currently use are very nice, but the KT90s are a step above.  As the sick audiophile I am, I found an octet from a seemingly reliable source on ebay.

Question:

Can I break in these tubes by leaving the amps running 24 hours a day with the preamp OFF?  If not, I'll hook my variable output Wadia cdp to it each night.  I'd rather not put that many hours on my pre.

Thanks
