Pass labs x250.8 burn in

I have on trial the pass labs x250.8.
I am wondering from experienced users and owners of the amp your experience of burning in or anything you may be able to add. Also I am using a BAT vk33se balanced tube preamp with it. It seems to be working out ok but I’ve been thinking of a used pass labs xp20 or used xp12. Would these preamps bring out a little more warmth?
TIA

I owned the Pass Labs X350.5. Reno HiFi sent me the X350.8 to try and I thought the X350.5 was livelier than the newer X350.8 version. So, I sent the X350.8 back.

At the same time, I also owned the Pass Labs X10 preamp. Again, not overwhelmed. But we all have different speakers, rooms, preferences etc.
