The buject line is not entirely misleading. I wanted to understand the often mentioned phonomenon “warm up time” for amplifiers to start sounding good every time they are switched on. With tube amplifiers it even shows up a bit as the tubes start glowing and the sound appears. Any simple to understand explanation of this phenom?
The second part of the question seeks “interesting” things to do while waiting for the oven to warm up.
Interesting personal choices, good ideas welcome!
It seems there is no consensus on how long is considered “warmed up”….some say a minute others say 20 mins and some manufacturers say never “switch off” the amplifier (Eg: Naim). For this discussion shall we assume a 5 minute waiting time for the amp to warm up?
(“make a cup of…or a drink, take a nap, knitting” type suggestions come to mind immediately, but we can go on to more creative suggestions if you like)
