Do NOT run thed syetm for consectutive days! Play it each day for a few hours at a time, twice daily.
I hope when it is all hooked up correctly( don't forget to plug it in) that it sounds glorious.
If it doesn't...don't fret it probably needs a bunch of burn in
get a cheap cd player and run it in repeat mode for a few days, don't worry about the tubes...they need to be burned in as well.
turn it off for a few hours every day
Do it for a week! Sounds crazy but it will sound a lot better

I've heeded to Charles advice and have been running the system no longer than 5 hours at any one time. (I usually turn it on at night when I get home from work and turn it off at bedtime.)
On the weekend, I got to run 2 "cycles" (5 hours on/5 hours off) each day because I was home to do so.
Some was just running the FM tuner to just get signal through the system and other hours were actually listening.
