    With speakers, it's a different deal though, new speakers do break in with time and use, and typically sound better the more they're used. My best sounding cab is an old marshall with Celestion G12H30's, they're nice and loose, sound great.
    RevolutionMan is exactly correct!....preamp tubes don't get better with time...
    You can't "age" things faster....

    Tube Burn In TIme?

    I am thinking about replacing the 12AX7 preamp tubes in my peavey ultra amp. When I get new tubes, how long should I burn them in for before I should play normal again with the amp?

    Also, can i burn them in on standby?
