yeah, bright lights and funny shapes have a tendency to do that with two and four legged "children" alike.

Though I've found that the shiny knobs can also be an attractant, even for the bigger kids (like myself).

Thankfully, I have no two legged or four legged foes to worry about in my current environment, but when that changes it shall be a major concern.

About as long as it takes me to finish my first cup of coffee. Nothing more. Sometimes less.

I'm in the Eh? category. One thing I love about point-to-point circuitry is that the power is delivered directly to the tube, not through a circuit board. As a result, the delay for tube saturation is significantly lessened. As I was told, after two minutes, everything should be ready to go. So far that's been true.

btw - Buzz Audio is only solid state, no tube.

About 30 minutes less than the time it takes me to wake up, so about an hour.

The Peluso 22-251 gets 45-60 min of warm up

The AKG 414 gets 30 min to shake off the chill.

The RCA 44 is go to go right out of the case.

All around I let all the electronics warm up for about 45 min.
