starting equiment that ic cold from being shipped


Is it a real thing that you court problems if you turn on an ice cold amplifier or pre-amp without waiting 24 hours for temperature to rise.  I have long awaited Krell FPB and KCT shipping tomorrow,  It's single digits in the Midwet.  Should I wait a full 24 hours for the equipment to warm inside before introducing any electricity into the components?

By the way modern double pane insulated windows should prevent moisture from condensing on the interior pane because the argon gas in between the panes of glass stop the cold air from hitting the interior pane. Thus no condensation. Old school single pane windows would without exception have moisture on them from condensation in the cold months. This happens even with low humidity rooms. So, to be safe I would wait on plugging in and playing any audio equipment that could potentially cause condensation.
