My experience is that Presto is right, most things don't need to "warm up" very much to sound good. However...

My experience is that you are also right, if you happen to have gear that DOES need to warm up, but I believe that's uncommon. Of all the stuff I've used over the years, the only piece that I've had that needs to be on for a while to sound right is my Nakamichi power amp. Probably because it's mostly a Pass design. It sounds rough the first twenty minutes, and excellent after an hour.

The joke was on me when I discovered that the amplifier had this characteristic because even twenty years ago people were saying that their SS amplifiers needed to warm up and I thought they were full of it. To prove my case I did careful listening cold and warm on my systems and there were absolutely no differences. And then I bought this one... Guess it never pays to get too cocky about what is possible.
