Better sounding after 1 hour


I noticed that after 1 hour my Cayin A-50T tube integrated amplifier sounds more open and dynamic. Is this a particular characteristic of tube amps?

My tube amp (and everything else) are on initially for background music so it's generally plenty warmed up for active listening. Leaving SS stuff on all the time is utterly wasteful and to admit doing that these days is kinda lame.
Again, your car will run better if you leave it running all the time...it will. Hot water...leave the water running and it's always hot AND fresher...sleep with your daytime clothes on...leave the refrigerator door open to cool the house and make food access easier...put your underwear on the floor and cover it with rug cleaner and vacuum it...wear a feedbag while riding your bicycle...pork cousins...inhale asbestos for future medical freebies...only wear socks once like Jerry Lewis...
