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.

My Krell monoblocks 450mcx clearly sound better after about an hour playing.
I also try to run a cd for awhile prior to listening session.  And only after leaving all 
electonics on Stand-by almost all the time continuously KCT and  KPS 28  cd.
If I shut off everything cold it sound poor for hours until warmed up
I'm amazed how warm my KCT remains even in stand -by mode and amazed how poor it sounds comparably  if not warmed up
Best sound is after a hour of playing with or without beer
I too enjoy a cold beer while listening.  I have kept these things in stand by mode for years now and only usually listening on weekends
I play cd and vinyl equally
