Is it the beer or do speakers/electronics really need some extended warm-up period?

To me, one of life's best times are a cold beer and listening to good music.  I have noticed that the longer the listening/drinking session, the better the sound.  Is it the beer or do the electronics/mechanical components mellow out after some burn-in period?  Thought about listening with no beer, but that's not happening.

It’s definitely not the beer.

Just turning my rig on and letting it warm-up for an hour or so has never paid any discernible sonic dividends. Of course it’s better than no warm-up time at all but I discovered years ago that at least 20 minutes of actual system playing time is the magic number for me. Don’t know why....
