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

I get burn in... should be called burn off just to get the manufacturing process off all the different manufacturers and parts to sweat off the packaging and sealants. But a light bulb is on or off. So SS gear in theory should sound the same. A light bulb does not get brighter after an hour. Is it your ears get programmed? Or is there and actual technical reason that it sounds better? Please pretend Im a four year old cause with Electronics I am.

It always astounds that millercarbon "Here in Washington we have some sweet green bud that will get you there in one step: inhale." {see https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/the-5-stages-of-making-a-bad-audio-purchase/post?highlight=bu...} can attribute things with technical explanations to 'manufacturer magic' that has zero basis in fact and zero evidence other than 'say-so' to support it.

AlMarg OTOH is always spot on and completely lucid.

See http://ielogical.com/Audio/WinterBlues.php for many reasons other than the listener as to why sonics change with temperature.

I do listen to XM radio on a Polk tuner.
Chalk & cheese.

XM is bit-rate limited, time compressed and EQ'd.

Is your HiFi?
