+1 on the around 30mins for warmup, also developing the habit of starting up the system and going to to something for a short while...

I also swapped tubes recently to the Gold Lions and I’m feeling in a similar manner. Sound was very good before and continues to be such after the change. Cannot really say it sounds better but it definitely does not sound worst if anything about the same.

Happy that I have new tubes and hopefully won’t have to fuss with that for a good while, plus some spares in case something does happen.
