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?

Don’t know if this will be usable info being that my experience has involved MUCH less expensive amps and temps that were generally in the high 20s at their coldest (coastal TX) but I’ve run a 100 w/ch receiver for 10 yrs plus out in a metal shed in all weather extremes common to my area with nary a hiccup.  FWIW…
