RE: Why do electrostatics sound better after the high voltage has been on for a while?

I've heard pretty dramatic differences with solid state warming up in some cases more dramatic than tube gear.

My ARC SP-14 and D400mkII were unlistenable when cold. I mean simply terrible, bright, cold, brittle, flat. I'd rather mow the lawn. Of course some might claim that's the ARC house sound. LOL

Give them a couple hours to get toasty warm and it was completely different, wow! I have had similar experiences with other solid state perhaps not as dramatic as this example.

For critical evaluation a couple hours warm up is probably best no matter the amplifying device. That doesn't mean one can't have fun till things are warm some gear is fine from a cold start.
