My cat can tell me when my pream/amp has reached its optimal temperature for best sonic performance. He has this look on his face as soon as that point is reached. My ears are too old to tell the difference.
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.
