You would be amazed at how it shakes out power and preamp tubes that die in the shop, and not after a customer gets his amp....I've done some studies on audio burn-ins, but not ready to commit to doing it (nor share) the procedures yet. I do think running audio through amps is as important as through speakers.
so do you only do this when you are there to actually watch it? id be worried if i was out to lunch about something bad happening, like a fire. im always hawk eyeing a new build waiting to dive for the power switch when i see something weird/scary happen
