Warm-up time for amps and preamps

How long does it take for your system to sound good from a cold start?
I try to keep my system on most of the time.  But occasionally I turn it off and it sounds like crap for a good half-hour to an hour.
i know there has been discussion here on the virtue of leaving tube preamps on all the time.
But my solid state amp (modified NuForce mono blocks) technician advises turning even them off occasionally.

" How can you prove that what you hear 45 minutes later from the same source and media sounds any different?"

Why should anyone here have to prove something? If you don't feel its necessary to warm up your system, great. If others want to, that's they're business. Besides, its hard to find an owners manual that doesn't discuss warm up. What proof do you have that they're all wrong?
