Hi Audiocrack and Mark
How long does it take until your GG sounds at it's best?
And also, how long is the burn-in time until a new GG settles?
I wouldn't dare to leave my tube gear on, when I'm not at home.
A KR Audio T100 tube turned red hot, while we were listening and we jumped across the room to switch the amp off. I don't want to find out, what would have happened, if we didn't immediately turn off the amp...
So, unattended tube gear is out of the question for me.
I don't want to burn my house down, with all those treasures in it.
Cheers,
Christoph
I never let my tube amps play when nobody is at home. But the 'stressfactor' for tubes in the GG is very low. In my - very revealing - Tidal La Assoluta system I need at least 4-5 hours before things are starting to sound really nice. Also my Kondo amps need a couple of hours; even after 4-5 hours the Kondo amps still make, albeit little, steps.
