Hi Joe,
Note that for burn in of the capacitors (at least the ones at the output), you need to have something plugged in to the preamp outputs, such as a power amplifier. The power amplifier does not necessarily need to be turned on, it just needs to be connected so that the pre has a load connected. There also has to be at least a moderate volume set (not muted) so that current is passing though the output capacitors. You may already be aware of this, just being sure so you don't waste time and tube hours.
Congratulations on your new ET3 SE.
Anthony
