Can anyone explain in laymans terms why your gear sound better after warm up

Is that your final answer?

Finally, an explanation that makes sense. 🤗

millercarbon,

Thank you for your excellent layman’s terms dissertation. I greatly appreciate you filling in the gaps in my knowledge base.

I apologize for straying from the subject at hand. I recall a recent post of yours in another forum thread within which you noted that you apply a bulk tape eraser to your LPs before playing. You related that doing such improved the sound quality, though you were without understanding of why this practice wrought such an improvement. If you care to start a discussion thread concerning this subject, then I would enjoy sharing my knowledge with you and all who care to follow the thread. I may not reply quickly, as a guy has to work to support the audiophile addiction, but I will provide a complete explanation with historical references.

>>>>Do you have an explanation for demagnetizing CDs, too? I’m interested in both.

I hate to judge before all the facts are in but tube electronics are also apparently subject to variation in temperature, at least in terms of warming up. That’s the way thing are.
