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.

Thank you Al for mentioning that semiconductors are sensitive to temperature. We often forget it, concentrating on less important factors. Thank you also for providing Wikipedia link, for those who want to learn more, since semiconductor behavior with temperature is complex.
