Vacuum tubes require a break-in period of approximately 100 hours to
reach their optimal performance. After 20 hours you will begin to notice
a large difference in the quality of sound over the brand new tubes. Also
every single time you turn your BlueTube amplifier on you will notice
the sound will gradually improve over the first 20 minutes until the tubes
have reached their normal operating temperature.
Bluetooth® technology on a vacuum tube amp is a convenience it does
not and never will deliver the best audio quality. For convenience use
the Bluetooth® module, for quality use the Aux 1 and Aux 2 inputs.
Bluetooth® compresses the audio for transmission then uncompresses
it on the receiving end. Depending on the individual you may or may not
pick up on this small compression noise.
Different devices connected to the BlueTube Amplifier will have different
output power levels. If the audio distorts, lower the output volume on the
device connected to the amplifier.
