No - I specifically mentioned valve amps as the valves, HT caps (because of the 450-600V) and o/p tranny laminations all do "settle down" from new... All of my guitar amps have done this. Low voltage transistor and IC gear does not have this issue. On the other hand, Class-A tranny amps and valve amps need a period of warm-up to let the quiescent current/temperature stabilise. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
