Power Tube Break-In Procedure
« on: 21 Jan 2006, 09:40 pm »
I just purchased a set of Sophia 300B 2.5v Princess tubes from Sophia Electric.  They recommended allowing the tubes to cool off for at least 30 minutes after running them for a maximum of four hours.  I think they meant just during break-in, but not sure.  They claim that this can dramatically extend the life of the tubes.  Has anyone heard of this?  Why would this extend tube life?
