How long do you let your phantoms warm up for? - RMK - 02-Jan-2020
Do you guys crank it loud straight after turning on or do you let them sit for a while first?
I know it's a weird question but I've seen people warm solid state amps beforehand. Is it all a load of rubbish?

I'd say transistor amps still perform slightly better when warm. Electronic devices still rely on chemical components, whose performance depend on a temperature range (which can be found in the specs, i.e. "operating range 0°C - 40°C").
But you can crank the volume up straight after turning on, I mean there is no risk of damage unless specified. It will get warmer quicker at least !
