AVA Van Alstine SET 400 amplifier -- burn in?

I am not trying to spark a debate about burn in. I purchased an AVA SET 400 amplifier and will give it a listen for 30 days and decide if it works for me.

If you’ve owned this amp or other solid state amps from AVA and have noticed any changes to the sound over time, can you please describe for me?

I asked Mr. Van Alstine about this and his reply was "No burn in time, it’s running up to speed within a couple of minutes."

What’s your experience? It arrives in less than a week. Thank you.

i personally dont want to get opinions from members on how something should sound out of the box or after a few days of run time. 
  i think that when you do this, you are setting expectations and if those expectations dont happen , then one is disappointed .       

 how something sounds in another members system is not going to be the same as another member as there are to many variables to consider (other equipment  / cables / room, etc. )

one should be able to know pretty quick if something is a keeper or not.
