I am currently in the process to burn in a new set off Mullard 12Ax7 re-issues. This frustrates the heck out of me just to get the odd 30+ hours done. Patience has never been my stronghold. Each time that it's running I am just staring at it as it plays track after track in a repeat cycle with no sound. It just feels like its taking forever. To top it all the weather isn't exactly playing along either. I am constantly monitoring the weather and lightning alert to see when I can squeeze in another couple of hours burn in or have to switch it off and wait for another go the next day. Since this past Monday I was at least able to get 14 hours done. My actual plan was to run it 12 hours a day. I would reeeeally like to get it before my weekend music listening.

Any other forum colleagues with tube burn in frustration they would like to get rid off here?
