Either the stock tubes didn't do that or with these tubes I'm noticing more out of my system. I'll keep these in for a few months and then rotate the stock tubes back in to reevaluate the differences.
I know it's conventional wisdom that tubes take a while to warm up, but I don't think the stock tubes sound thin or veiled for 30 minutes. I'm pretty sensitive when something is "wrong" in my system, I have never thought it sounded wrong on first turning it on.

Others with stock tube experience here?
